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

  • An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 15.9 before 16.0.8, all versions starting from 16.1 before 16.1.3, all versions starting from 16.2 before 16.2.2. It was possible for an attacker to trigger a stored XSS vulnerability via user interaction with a crafted URL in the WebIDE beta. (CVE-2023-2164)

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