A privilege escalation vulnerability in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 16.0 prior to 16.4.4, 16.5 prior to 16.5.4, and 16.6 prior to 16.6.2 allows a project Maintainer to use a Project Access Token to escalate their role to Owner

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

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 16.0 prior to 16.4.4, 16.5     prior to 16.5.4, and 16.6 prior to 16.6.2 allows a project Maintainer to use a Project Access Token to     escalate their role to Owner (CVE-2023-3907)

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

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 e2fb85ce-9a3c-11ee-af26-001b217b3468 advisory.

  - Gitlab reports: Smartcard authentication allows impersonation of arbitrary user using user's public     certificate When subgroup is allowed to merge or push to protected branches, subgroup members with the     Developer role may gain the ability to push or merge The GitLab web interface does not ensure the     integrity of information when downloading the source code from installation packages or tags Project     maintainer can escalate to Project owner using project access token rotate API Omission of Double Encoding     in File Names Facilitates the Creation of Repositories with Malicious Content Unvalidated timeSpent value     leads to unable to load issues on Issue board Developer can bypass predefined variables via REST API     Auditor users can create merge requests on projects they don't have access to (CVE-2023-3511,     CVE-2023-3904, CVE-2023-3907, CVE-2023-5061, CVE-2023-5512, CVE-2023-6051, CVE-2023-6564, CVE-2023-6680)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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:
