CVE-2022-2884 is a critical vulnerability in GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE), affecting versions from 11.3.4 up to but not including 15.1.5, 15.2 to 15.2.3, and 15.3 to 15.3.1. The flaw allows an authenticated user to achieve remote code execution by exploiting the 'Import from GitHub' API endpoint. Attackers can leverage this endpoint to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the vulnerable GitLab instance.

This repository provides a Python3 exploit (gitlab_rce_cve-2022-2884.py) for CVE-2022-2884, an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in GitLab CE/EE (versions 11.3.4 up to but not including 15.1.5, 15.2 to 15.2.3, and 15.3 to 15.3.1). The exploit leverages the 'Import from GitHub' API endpoint to execute arbitrary commands on the target GitLab server as an authenticated user. The main exploit script requires the attacker to provide the target GitLab URL, a valid private token, and the command to execute. It sets up a fake GitHub server to facilitate the attack and can be used to run arbitrary shell commands, including reverse shells or file writes. The repository also includes scripts and instructions for setting up a vulnerable GitLab environment using Docker, as well as helper scripts for managing the test environment. The exploit is operational and can be used for post-exploitation activities on vulnerable GitLab instances.
