An issue was discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.8 prior to 16.11.5, starting from 17.0 prior to 17.0.3, and starting from 17.1 prior to 17.1.1, which allows an attacker to trigger a pipeline as another user under certain circumstances.

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 589de937-343f-11ef-8a7b-001b217b3468 advisory.
