What the check does
Flags a project with public pipelines (public_builds) enabled.
Why it matters
Public pipelines let non-members view CI job logs and download build artifacts. Secrets accidentally echoed into logs, or credentials baked into artifacts, then leak to anyone. Turn off Settings → CI/CD → General pipelines → ‘Public pipelines’. Pipefort can fix this with--fix-settings-gl.
This is a GitLab project-settings check: it reads the project configuration over
the GitLab API (CLI: --git at a GitLab host with --gitlab-token; the web
app uses its connected GitLab token) and reports under the Repository
configuration group. See the rules overview.
