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 16.1 before 16.1.3, all versions starting from 16.2 before 16.2.2. An invalid ‘start_sha’ value on merge requests page may lead to Denial of Service as Changes tab would not load. (CVE-2023-3900)

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