Description

Gogs OS Command Injection vulnerability

Impact

The malicious user is able to update a crafted config file into repository's .git directory in combination with crafted file deletion to gain SSH access to the server on case-insensitive file systems. All installations with [repository upload enabled (default)](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/blob/f36eeedbf89328ee70cc3a2e239f6314f9021f58/conf/app.ini#L127-L129) on case-insensitive file systems (Windows, macOS, etc.) are affected.

Patches

Make sanitization of upload path to .git directory to be case-insensitive. Users should upgrade to 0.12.11 or the latest 0.13.0+dev.

Workarounds

Disable [repository upload](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/blob/f36eeedbf89328ee70cc3a2e239f6314f9021f58/conf/app.ini#L127-L129).
