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

  • An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.10.8, all versions starting from 15.11 before 15.11.7, all versions starting from 16.0 before 16.0.2. A reflected XSS was possible when creating new abuse reports which allows attackers to perform arbitrary actions on behalf of victims. (CVE-2023-2015)

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