The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is between 16.0 prior to 16.3.6, 16.4 prior to 16.4.2 or 16.5 prior to 16.5.1. It is, therefore, affected by an improper access control vulnerability as referenced in the vendor advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
