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

  • A cross-site scripting issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions starting from 5.1 before 16.10.7, all versions starting from 16.11 before 16.111.4, all versions starting from 17.0 before 17.0.2.
    When viewing an XML file in a repository in raw mode, it can be made to render as HTML if viewed under specific circumstances. (CVE-2024-4201)

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