The GitLab instance installed on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of GitLab installed on the remote host is prior to 15.5.7, 15.6.4, 15.7.2. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-7-2-RELEASED advisory.
