CVE-2022-1884Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via .git config overwrite

Published Nov 15, 2024 · Updated Nov 15, 2024

OS command injection in Gogs before 0.12.8 on Windows allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through repository uploads. The upload handler accepts tree_path=.git., writes an attacker-supplied config as .git/config, and later honors its core.sshCommand value. Repository write access and enabled file uploads, the default setting, are required; execution runs with the Gogs service account's privileges.
