Description

Hi Team,

We are facing issue in Gitlab instance, as the CPU utilization is very high and the process is xmrig. As there is gitlab-runner running is there any possibility to run this xmrig through gitlab-runner and also
is there any solution to fix this issuse. As the xmrig proccess is running automatically even after killing the process.

Thanks in advance.
