  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 10.1 before 19.3.6, 19.4 before
    19.4.3, and 19.5 before 19.5.1 that, when OmniAuth SAML and LDAP auto-linking were both enabled, an
    authenticated user could have taken over an existing LDAP-backed account without any interaction from the
    targeted user, due to improper input sanitization in the LDAP email lookup path used during OmniAuth
    identity linking. (CVE-2026-15723)

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