A XSS condition exists within GitLab in versions 15.11 before 16.10.6, 16.11 before 16.11.3, and 17.0 before 17.0.1. By leveraging this condition, an attacker can craft a malicious page to exfiltrate sensitive user information.

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

  - A XSS condition exists within GitLab in versions 15.11 before 16.10.6, 16.11 before 16.11.3, and 17.0     before 17.0.1. By leveraging this condition, an attacker can craft a malicious page to exfiltrate     sensitive user information. (CVE-2024-4835)

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 XSS condition exists within GitLab in versions 15.11 before 16.10.6, 16.11 before 16.11.3, and 17.0     before 17.0.1. By leveraging this condition, an attacker can craft a malicious page to exfiltrate     sensitive user information. (CVE-2024-4835)

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 f848ef90-1848-11ef-9850-001b217b3468 advisory.

    Gitlab reports:
    1-click account takeover via XSS in the code editor in gitlab.com     A DOS vulnerability in the 'description' field of the runner     CSRF via K8s cluster-integration     Using Set Pipeline Status of a Commit API incorrectly create a new pipeline when SHA and pipeline_id did     not match     Redos on wiki render API/Page     Resource exhaustion and denial of service with test_report API calls     Guest user can view dependency lists of private projects through job artifacts     Stored XSS via PDFjs

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.
