medium Nessus Plugin ID 171160

Language:

Synopsis

The GitLab instance installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting 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 a cross-site scripting vulnerability as referenced in the SECURITY-RELEASE-GITLAB-15-7-2-RELEASED advisory.

- An issue has been discovered in GitLab CE/EE affecting all versions starting from 15.4 before 15.5.7, all versions starting from 15.6 before 15.6.4, all versions starting from 15.7 before 15.7.2. Due to the improper filtering of query parameters in the wiki changes page, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript on the self-hosted instances running without strict CSP. (CVE-2022-3573)

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

Solution

Upgrade to GitLab version 15.5.7, 15.6.4, 15.7.2 or later.
