The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:

  • In all versions of GitLab CE/EE since version 8.0, when an admin uses the impersonate feature twice and stops impersonating, the admin may be logged in as the second user they impersonated, which may lead to repudiation issues. (CVE-2021-39896)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
