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

  • Patch in third party library Consul requires ‘enable-script-checks’ to be set to False. This was required to enable a patch by the vendor. Without this setting the patch could be bypassed. This only affects GitLab-EE. (CVE-2023-5332)

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