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

  • A denial of service vulnerability was identified in GitLab CE/EE, versions 16.7.7 prior to 16.8.6, 16.9 prior to 16.9.4 and 16.10 prior to 16.10.2 which allows an attacker to spike the GitLab instance resources usage resulting in service degradation via chat integration feature. (CVE-2023-6489)

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