An issue has been discovered in GitLab affecting all versions before 16.6.6, 16.7 prior to 16.7.4, and 16.8 prior to 16.8.1. It is possible to read the user email address via tags feed although the visibility in the user profile has been disabled.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/gather/gitlab_tags_rss_feed_email_disclosure
msf auxiliary(gitlab_tags_rss_feed_email_disclosure) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(gitlab_tags_rss_feed_email_disclosure) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(gitlab_tags_rss_feed_email_disclosure) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(gitlab_tags_rss_feed_email_disclosure) > run
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.
