GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 17.10 before 18.3.5, 18.4 before 18.4.3, and 18.5 before 18.5.1 that could have allowed an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted payloads.

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

  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions from 17.10 before 18.3.5, 18.4     before 18.4.3, and 18.5 before 18.5.1 that could have allowed an unauthenticated attacker to cause a     denial of service condition by sending specially crafted payloads. (CVE-2025-10497)

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:

  - Gitlab reports: Improper access control issue in runner API impacts GitLab EE Denial of service issue in     event collection impacts GitLab CE/EE Denial of service issue in JSON validation impacts GitLab CE/EE     Denial of service issue in upload impacts GitLab CE/EE Incorrect Authorization issue in pipeline builds     impacts GitLab CE Business logic error issue in group memberships impacts GitLab EE Missing authorization     issue in quick actions impacts GitLab EE (CVE-2025-10497)

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 f741ea93-af61-11f0-98b5-2cf05da270f3 advisory.

    Gitlab reports:
    Improper access control issue in runner API impacts GitLab EE     Denial of service issue in event collection impacts GitLab CE/EE     Denial of service issue in JSON validation impacts GitLab CE/EE     Denial of service issue in upload impacts GitLab CE/EE     Incorrect Authorization issue in pipeline builds impacts GitLab CE     Business logic error issue in group memberships impacts GitLab EE     Missing authorization issue in quick actions impacts GitLab EE

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.
