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 10.6 before 16.2.8, all versions starting from 16.3 before 16.3.5, all versions starting from 16.4 before 16.4.1. It was possible that upstream members to collaborate with you on your branch get permission to write to the merge request’s source branch. (CVE-2023-3979)

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