The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is prior to 15.5.7, 15.6.4, 15.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-7-2-RELEASED advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.4 before 15.5.7, all
versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. Due to the
improper filtering of query parameters in the wiki changes page, an attacker can execute arbitrary
JavaScript on the self-hosted instances running without strict CSP. (CVE-2022-3573)
