Could you build this?

Partial Writing a proof-of-concept exploit script for a known vulnerability is simple, but discovering the original zero-day unauthenticated file read requires specialized vulnerability research.

What it would actually take: The deliverable here is a proof-of-concept Python exploit targeting a specific GitLab CVE via crafted HTTP requests. Discovering and weaponizing such vulnerabilities requires deep reverse-engineering of GitLab's Ruby on Rails codebase, understanding path traversal/sanitization bypasses, and security auditing skills, though once known, the exploit script itself can be assembled rapidly.
