  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 19.2 before 19.2.8, 19.3 before
    19.3.5, and 19.4 before 19.4.2 that, under certain conditions, could have allowed an unauthenticated user
    to execute arbitrary code on the GitLab server via a specially crafted regular expression in a CI/CD
    configuration, due to insufficient regular expression validation. (CVE-2026-97229)

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