Gogs vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A Path Traversal vulnerability was identified in GitHub repository gogs/gogs versions prior to 0.12.9, tracked as CVE-2022-1993. The vulnerability was discovered and reported in June 2022, affecting the Git HTTP endpoints of the Gogs self-hosted Git service (CVE Mitre).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the Git HTTP endpoints where the application failed to properly sanitize and validate request paths. This could potentially allow malicious actors to traverse directory paths outside of intended boundaries. The issue was addressed in version 0.12.9 by implementing proper path cleaning and validation mechanisms (GitHub Commit).
Impact
If successfully exploited, this path traversal vulnerability could allow attackers to access files and directories outside of the intended directory structure, potentially exposing sensitive information or system files (CVE Mitre).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in Gogs version 0.12.9. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to address the security issue. The fix includes implementation of request path cleaning and additional validation checks for suspicious characters in the Git HTTP endpoints (GitHub Commit).
