GitLab has remediated an issue in GitLab EE affecting all versions from 18.7 before 18.10.7, 18.11 before 18.11.4, and 19.0 before 19.0.1 that when foundational flows were enabled at the group level, could have allowed an authenticated user with developer-role permissions to bypass flow restrictions under certain conditions.

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 9b94eb13-6159-11f1-be36-2cf05da270f3 advisory.
