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

  • A potential DOS vulnerability was discovered in GitLab CE/EE starting with version 13.7. The stripping of EXIF data from certain images resulted in high CPU usage. (CVE-2021-39907)

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