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

  • An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.4 prior to 16.9.7, starting from 16.10 prior to 16.10.5, and starting from 16.11 prior to 16.11.2 where abusing the API to filter branch and tags could lead to Denial of Service. (CVE-2024-4539)

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