  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 1.0 before 18.7.6, 18.8 before
    18.8.6, and 18.9 before 18.9.2 that could have allowed an authenticated user to cause repository downloads
    to contain different code than displayed in the web interface due to incorrect validation of branch
    references under certain circumstances. (CVE-2026-1230)

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