Authenticated command execution via symlinked repository update
Published Feb 6, 2026 · Updated Feb 6, 2026
Remote code execution in Gogs 0.13.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via the repository contents API. The API route calls UpdateRepoFile without matching its .git-path checks, so a repository symlink lets an update overwrite .git/config with an attacker-controlled sshCommand. A valid API token and repository write access are required; the next Git operation runs the configured command with the Gogs service account's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=< 0.13.4
- Affected versionversion=< 0.14.0+dev
