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

  • An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions starting from 15.10 before 15.10.5, all versions starting from 15.11 before 15.11.1. Under certain conditions when OpenID Connect is enabled on an instance, it may allow users who are marked as ‘external’ to become ‘regular’ users thus leading to privilege escalation for those users. (CVE-2023-2182)

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