How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable gitlab to version 11.5.6+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitlab package and not the gitlab package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

An insecure permissions issue was discovered in GitLab Community and Enterprise Edition 9.4 and later but before 11.4.13, 11.5.x before 11.5.6, and 11.6.x before 11.6.1. The runner registration token in the CI/CD settings could not be reset. This was a security risk if one of the maintainers leaves the group and they know the token.
