info:
  name: Uninitialized GitLab instances
  author: GitLab Red Team
  severity: high
  description: |
    Prior to version 14, GitLab installations required a root password to be
    set via the web UI. If the administrator skipped this step, any visitor
    could set a password and control the instance.
