GitLab Orbit: Find vulnerability blast radius without the manual hunt
Oct 29, 2026Rebecca Carter

Summary
This post introduces GitLab Orbit, a new capability that builds a first-party graph of the entire SDLC by connecting code, merge requests, pipelines, deployments, and vulnerabilities. It enables agents to query this graph to quickly identify the blast radius of vulnerabilities, including affected projects, owners, and pipelines. The post highlights performance improvements in agent execution (up to 11x faster, 4.5x fewer tokens, 45x fewer retries) when using Orbit compared to agents operating without it.
