summary: |-
GitLab auth uses full name instead of username as user ID, allowing
impersonation
description: |-
### Impact
Installations which use the GitLab auth connector are vulnerable to identity
spoofing by way of configuring a GitLab account with the same full name as
another GitLab user who is granted access to a Concourse team by having their
full name listed under `users` in the team configuration or given to the
`--gitlab-user` flag.
See the [GitLab auth docs](https://concourse-ci.org/gitlab-auth.html) for
details.
Concourse installations which do not configure the GitLab auth connector are not
affected.
### Patches
Concourse [v6.3.1](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v6.3.1)
and [v6.4.1](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v6.4.1) were
both released with a fix on August 4th, 2020.
Both versions change the GitLab connector to use the username, rather than the
full name. This was always the intent, and the previous behavior was originally
reported as a bug (concourse/dex#7) prior to being reported as a security issue.
Any Concourse teams which configure GitLab users will have to switch each user
from their full name to their username upon upgrading to these versions.
### Workarounds
GitLab groups do not have this vulnerability, so GitLab users may be moved into
groups which are then configured in the Concourse team.
