The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:

  • An authorization issue affecting GitLab EE affecting all versions from 14.7 prior to 16.3.6, 16.4 prior to 16.4.2, and 16.5 prior to 16.5.1, allowed a user to run jobs in protected environments, bypassing any required approvals. (CVE-2023-4700)

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