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

  • Lack of an access control check in the External Status Check feature allowed any authenticated user to retrieve the configuration of any External Status Check in GitLab EE starting from 14.1 before 14.3.6, all versions starting from 14.4 before 14.4.4, all versions starting from 14.5 before 14.5.2. (CVE-2021-39916)

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