Technical Analysis

Requires authentication but after that it’s a couple of easy hops to get to admin – and with that: pillage secrets, deploy additional backdoor, pillage secrets, review code for additional vulnerabilities. Game over.

Technical Analysis

@zeroSteiner pointed us to this exploit chain today: https://twitter.com/CasvCooten/status/1270374273849401346. It uses CVE-2020-10535 to satisfy the authentication requirement. Note that https://hackerone.com/reports/827052 already explains the path to RCE. We actually already have a Rails secret deserialization exploit, so “weaponizing” the exploit chain is possible. @adfoster-r7 has pointed out that GitLab requires a signed cookie, so this module will not work.
