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

  • An improper certificate validation issue in Smartcard authentication in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 11.6 prior to 16.4.4, 16.5 prior to 16.5.4, and 16.6 prior to 16.6.2 allows an attacker to authenticate as another user given their public key if they use Smartcard authentication. Smartcard authentication is an experimental feature and has to be manually enabled by an administrator.
    (CVE-2023-6680)

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