Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-12-26 00:16 - Updated: 2026-10-13 10:10
Severity
9.5 (Critical) - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H
Summary
Forgejo before 13.0.2 allows attackers to write to unintended files, and possibly obtain server shell access, because of mishandling of out-of-repository symlink destinations for template repositories. This is also fixed for 11 LTS in 11.0.7 and later.
