+## Vulnerable Application
+
+Information disclosure affecting all versions of GitLab
+before 16.6.6, 16.7 prior to 16.7.4, and 16.8 prior to 16.8.1
+by sending a GET request to the project URI and appending "-/tags"
+
+### Docker installation instructions can be found here:
+
+https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/docker.html
+
+Once installed, create a project. Once the project is
+created, add a new tag by expanding the Code menu item
+on the left, then selecting Tags. Then click on the 
+New Tag button in the top right corner.
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+1. Install the application
+1. Start msfconsole
+1. Do: `use [module path]`
+1. Do: `set RHOSTS [IP]`
+1. Do: `run`
+1. You should receive output with user names and email addresses assocaited with project tags
+
+## Options
+
+### TARGETPROJECT
+
+This will gather information for ALL PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PROJECTS. IF you know the specific project you would
+like to target, you would need to set that here.
+
