Why this matters
Google Cloud changed Cloud Build so GitLab Enterprise and Bitbucket Data Center connections validate Secret Manager access for the calling principal as well as the service agent.
Security teams should translate the official notice into an inventory decision, an accountable owner and documented verification rather than treating publication alone as remediation.
Who should act
- Security and technology leaders responsible for the affected platform
- Vulnerability management, cloud security and security operations teams
- Risk, compliance and service owners who track remediation evidence
