AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Arbitrary file deletion in Gogs 0.13.3 and earlier allows authenticated repository contributors to exploit a path traversal flaw in the wiki page update function, enabling deletion of arbitrary files on the affected server. An attacker with wiki write access can manipulate the old_title parameter to traverse the filesystem and remove critical files. No patch is currently available for this high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.1).

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. In version 0.13.3 and prior, a path traversal vulnerability exists in the updateWikiPage function of Gogs. The vulnerability allows an authenticated user with write access to a repository's wiki to delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the old_title parameter in the wiki editing form. This issue has been patched in versions 0.13.4 and 0.14.0+dev.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Gogs instances running version 0.13.3 or earlier contain a critical path traversal vulnerability that could allow attackers to read, modify, or delete arbitrary files on affected servers. Organizations using self-hosted Gogs for Git repository management face immediate risk of data breach, service disruption, and potential lateral movement into broader infrastructure.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Disable wiki functionality if not required for operations; implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules blocking traversal patterns (../, ..\, encoded variants) in updateWikiPage requests; restrict network access to Gogs via IP allowlist or VPN; implement file integrity monitoring (FIM) on critical directories; enable comprehensive audit logging of wiki operations; isolate Gogs servers on segmented network with limited lateral movement capabilities; run Gogs process with minimal file system permissions using containerization or chroot jails.
