GitLab Orbit: Find vulnerability blast radius without the manual hunt

GitLab Orbit, now generally available, is presented as a first-party graph that connects code, merge requests, pipelines, deployments, security findings, environments, and ownership data to help organizations rapidly map the exposure of critical vulnerabilities. Using the recent PHP2Shell flaws as an example, the text argues that while upgrades may be straightforward, locating every vulnerable installation, determining its exposure, and identifying responsible teams is difficult when information is fragmented across scanners, repositories, spreadsheets, and other systems. Orbit allows users and agents to query this connected data in plain language, producing prioritized lists of affected projects, owners, pipelines, and related dependencies while retaining existing role-based access controls and query auditability. GitLab reports that, in internal testing, Orbit-enabled agents completed comparable tasks faster and with fewer tokens and retries than agents without graph access. The service is available to Premium and Ultimate GitLab.com customers, with Self-Managed and Dedicated availability planned, while organizations are advised to supplement repository-based findings with runtime inventories for systems not represented in source control.
