A denial of service vulnerability was identified in GitLab CE/EE, affecting all versions from 15.11 prior to 16.6.7, 16.7 prior to 16.7.5 and 16.8 prior to 16.8.2 which allows an attacker to spike the GitLab instance resource usage resulting in service degradation.

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

  - A denial of service vulnerability was identified in GitLab CE/EE, affecting all versions from 15.11 prior     to 16.6.7, 16.7 prior to 16.7.5 and 16.8 prior to 16.8.2 which allows an attacker to spike the GitLab     instance resource usage resulting in service degradation. (CVE-2023-6386)

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 6b2cba6a-c6a5-11ee-97d0-001b217b3468 advisory.

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 16.4 prior to 16.6.7, 16.7 prior to     16.7.5, and 16.8 prior to 16.8.2 which allows a maintainer to change the name of a protected branch that     bypasses the security policy added to block MR. (CVE-2023-6840)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 13.3.0 prior to 16.6.7, 16.7 prior     to 16.7.5, and 16.8 prior to 16.8.2 which allows an attacker to do a resource exhaustion using GraphQL     `vulnerabilitiesCountByDay` (CVE-2024-1066)

  - A denial of service vulnerability was identified in GitLab CE/EE, affecting all versions from 15.11 prior     to 16.6.7, 16.7 prior to 16.7.5 and 16.8 prior to 16.8.2 which allows an attacker to spike the GitLab     instance resource usage resulting in service degradation. (CVE-2023-6386)

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab EE affecting all versions starting from 16.8 before  16.8.2. When a     user is assigned a custom role with manage_group_access_tokens permission,  they may be able to create     group access tokens with Owner privileges, which may lead to privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-1250)

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