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 12.3 before 16.3.6, all versions starting from 16.4 before 16.4.2, all versions starting from 16.5 before 16.5.1. A Regular Expression Denial of Service was possible by adding a large string in timeout input in gitlab-ci.yml file.
    (CVE-2023-3909)

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