CVE-2022-2185 is a critical vulnerability in GitLab affecting versions 14.0 through 14.10.4, 15.0 through 15.0.3, and 15.1 through 15.1.0. The flaw allows an authenticated user with project import permissions to import a specially crafted project archive, which can trigger remote code execution on the GitLab server. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation or sanitization of project import data, allowing embedded malicious code to be executed during the import process.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-2185, a vulnerability in GitLab that allows authenticated remote code execution via the project import feature. The exploit consists of a Go program (main.go) that acts as a man-in-the-middle (MITM) HTTP proxy, listening on 0.0.0.0:8100. The proxy intercepts POST requests to /api/graphql, and if the request body contains the configured project name, it injects a malicious response with a crafted 'import_source' field containing a shell command (default: '/bin/sleep inf', but can be changed). The README.md provides setup instructions, including how to configure the exploit, run the proxy, and manipulate the import request to trigger the vulnerability. The exploit requires the attacker to have authenticated access to a GitLab instance and the ability to intercept and modify HTTP requests during the import process. The main exploit capability is arbitrary command execution on the GitLab server. The repository is structured simply, with a single Go source file and a README with usage instructions.
