A critical unauthenticated, remote code execution GitLab flaw fixed on April 14, 2021, remains exploitable, with over 50% of deployments remaining unpatched.

The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2021-22205 and has a CVSS v3 score of 10.0, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the 'git' user (repository admin).
This vulnerability gives the remote attacker full access to the repository, including deleting, modifying, and stealing source code.

Exploitation in the wild
Hackers first started exploiting internet-facing GitLab servers in June 2021 to create new users and give them admin rights.

The actors used a working exploit published on GitHub on June 4, 2021, allowing them to abuse the vulnerable ExifTool component.

According to a report published by Rapid7, at least 50% of the 60,000 internet-facing GitLab installations they found are not patched against the critical RCE flaw fixed six months ago.
Moreover, another 29% may or may not be vulnerable, as the analysts couldn't extract the version string for those servers.
