Security

For GitLab Enterprise and Bitbucket Data Center connections, Developer Connect now checks permissions on the calling principal.

When you create or update repository connections, Developer Connect uses Secret Manager secrets to authenticate to third-party Git providers. Previously, these referenced secrets were retrieved by the Developer Connect service agent (P4SA) on your behalf, checking permissions only against the P4SA's credentials rather than those of the calling principal. To adhere to the security principle of least privilege, Developer Connect now checks permissions on both the calling principal (using end-user credentials) and the P4SA, to ensure both have the secretmanager.versions.access IAM permission on the referenced secrets.

This check only affects GitLab Enterprise (GLE) and Bitbucket Data Center (BBDC) connections.

For instructions and more details, see the Developer Connect security bulletin.
