  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 12.0 before 19.0.6, 19.1 before
    19.1.4, and 19.2 before 19.2.2 that under certain conditions could have allowed an authenticated user to
    bypass IP-based access restrictions and read limited merge request information from a private project due
    to missing authorization checks in a merge requests API endpoint. (CVE-2026-6821)

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