GitLab User Enumeration

Description

The GitLab 'internal' API is exposed unauthenticated on GitLab. This allows the username for each SSH Key ID number to be retrieved. Users who do not have an SSH Key cannot be enumerated in this fashion. LDAP users, e.g. Active Directory users will also be returned. This issue was fixed in GitLab v7.5.0 and is present from GitLab v5.0.0.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
