An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 16.9 before 17.4.6, 17.5 before 17.5.4, and 17.6 before 17.6.2. By using a specific GraphQL query, under specific conditions an unauthorized user can retrieve branch names.

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

  - An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 16.9 before 17.4.6, 17.5 before     17.5.4, and 17.6 before 17.6.2. By using a specific GraphQL query, under specific conditions an     unauthorized user can retrieve branch names. (CVE-2024-8116)

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 has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 16.9 before 17.4.6, 17.5 before     17.5.4, and 17.6 before 17.6.2. By using a specific GraphQL query, under specific conditions an     unauthorized user can retrieve branch names. (CVE-2024-8116)

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 275ac414-b847-11ef-9877-2cf05da270f3 advisory.

    Gitlab reports:
    Injection of Network Error Logging (NEL) headers in kubernetes proxy response could lead to ATO abusing     OAuth flows     Denial of Service by repeatedly sending unauthenticated requests for diff-files     CI_JOB_TOKEN could be used to obtain GitLab session     Open redirect in releases API     Client-Side Path Traversal in Harbor artifact links     HTML injection in vulnerability details could lead to Cross Site Scripting     Leak branch names of projects with confidential repository     Non member can view unresolved threads marked as internal notes     Uncontrolled Resource Consumption through a maliciously crafted file     Certain sensitive information passed as literals inside GraphQL mutations retained in GraphQL logs     Information disclosure of confidential incidents details to a group member in Gitlab Wiki     Domain Confusion in GitLab Pages Unique Domain Implementation

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.
