GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 15.6 before 18.6.6, 18.7 before 18.7.4, and 18.8 before 18.8.4 that could have allowed an authenticated user to cause Denial of Service by uploading a malicious file and repeatedly querying it through GraphQl.

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability, as follows:

  - GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 15.6 before 18.6.6, 18.7 before     18.7.4, and 18.8 before 18.8.4 that could have allowed an authenticated user to cause Denial of Service by     uploading a malicious file and repeatedly querying it through GraphQl. (CVE-2026-1387)

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

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 EE affecting all versions from 15.6 before 18.6.6, 18.7 before     18.7.4, and 18.8 before 18.8.4 that could have allowed an authenticated user to cause Denial of Service by     uploading a malicious file and repeatedly querying it through GraphQl. (CVE-2026-1387)

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 9d9940e7-071c-11f1-93ca-2cf05da270f3 advisory.
