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 10.3 before 15.11.10, all versions starting from 16.0 before 16.0.6, all versions starting from 16.1 before 16.1.1. A Regular Expression Denial of Service was possible via sending crafted payloads to the preview_markdown endpoint.
    (CVE-2023-3424)

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