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

  • An authorization vulnerability exists in GitLab versions 14.0 prior to 16.6.6, 16.7 prior to 16.7.4, and 16.8 prior to 16.8.1. An unauthorized attacker is able to assign arbitrary users to MRs that they created within the project (CVE-2024-0456)

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