A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before 15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before     15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via     GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage. (CVE-2022-3411)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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

  - A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before     15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via     GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage. (CVE-2022-3411)

  - A Cross Site Request Forgery issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions before     15.6.7, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, and all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1.
    An attacker could take over a project if an Owner or Maintainer uploads a file to a malicious project.
    (CVE-2022-4138)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 14.3 before 15.6.7, all     versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1. An attacker may     upload a crafted CI job artifact zip file in a project that uses dynamic child pipelines and make a     sidekiq job allocate a lot of memory. In GitLab instances where Sidekiq is memory-limited, this may cause     Denial of Service. (CVE-2022-3759)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 14.0 before 15.6.7, all     versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.6, all versions starting from 15.8 before 15.8.1. It was possible     to trigger a DoS attack by uploading a malicious Helm chart. (CVE-2023-0518)

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

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

  - A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before     15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via     GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage. (CVE-2022-3411)

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

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ee890be3-a1ec-11ed-a81d-001b217b3468 advisory.

  - A lack of length validation in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 12.4 before 15.6.7, 15.7 before     15.7.6, and 15.8 before 15.8.1 allows an authenticated attacker to create a large Issue description via     GraphQL which, when repeatedly requested, saturates CPU usage. This is a medium severity issue     (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, 6.5). It is now mitigated in the latest release and is     assigned CVE-2022-3411. (CVE-2022-3411)
