GitLab GitHub Repo Import Deserialization RCE
Description
An authenticated user can import a repository from GitHub into GitLab. If a user attempts to import a repo from an attacker-controlled server, the server will reply with a Redis serialization protocol object in the nested `default_branch`. GitLab will cache this object and then deserialize it when trying to load a user session, resulting in RCE.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
