An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.5 before 17.5.5, 17.6 before 17.6.3, and 17.7 before 17.7.1, in which unauthorized users could manipulate the status of issues in public projects.

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

  - An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.5 before 17.5.5, 17.6     before 17.6.3, and 17.7 before 17.7.1, in which unauthorized users could manipulate the status of issues     in public projects. (CVE-2024-12431)

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:

  - An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.5 before 17.5.5, 17.6     before 17.6.3, and 17.7 before 17.7.1, in which unauthorized users could manipulate the status of issues     in public projects. (CVE-2024-12431)

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 2bfde261-cdf2-11ef-b6b2-2cf05da270f3 advisory.

    Gitlab reports:
    Possible access token exposure in GitLab logs     Cyclic reference of epics leads resource exhaustion     Unauthorized user can manipulate status of issues in public projects     Instance SAML does not respect external_provider configuration

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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