Summary
Due to the insufficient patch for the CVE-2024-39931, it's still possible to delete files under the .git directory and achieve remote command execution.
Details
In the patch for CVE-2024-39931, the following check is added: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/commit/77a4a945ae9a87f77e392e9066b560edb71b5de9
+ // 🚨 SECURITY: Prevent uploading files into the ".git" directory
+ if isRepositoryGitPath(opts.TreePath) {
+ return errors.Errorf("bad tree path %q", opts.TreePath)
+ }
While the above code snippet checks if the specified path is a .git directory, there are no checks for symbolic links in the later steps. So, by creating a symbolic link that points to the .git directory, an attacker can still delete arbitrary files in the .git directory and achieve remote command execution.
Impact
Unprivileged user accounts can execute arbitrary commands on the Gogs instance with the privileges of the account specified by RUN_USER in the configuration. It allows attackers to access and alter any users' code hosted on the same instance.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. Immediate patching or mitigation is required.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
