CVE-2026-52800

Gogs: CSRF Leading to Organization Owner Takeover

8.8 HighFix available

Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, organization team member management can be performed via GET requests without CSRF protection. If a victim who is an organization owner is logged in and is tricked into visiting a crafted link, an attacker-controlled user can be added to the Owners team. As a result, the attacker gains organization owner–equivalent privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.

Gogs Vulnerable to CSRF Leading to Organization Owner Takeover

Summary

In Gogs 0.14.1, organization team member management can be performed via GET requests without CSRF protection. If a victim who is an organization owner is logged in and is tricked into visiting a crafted link, an attacker-controlled user can be added to the Owners team. As a result, the attacker gains organization owner–equivalent privileges.

Description

When a victim is logged in as an organization owner, team member management endpoints are exposed via routes reachable by GET requests, allowing state-changing operations without a CSRF token.

Team action route allows GET

internal/cmd/web.go:390

m.Route("/teams/:team/action/:action", "GET,POST", org.TeamsAction)

CSRF validation is applied only to POST requests

Because the global CSRF check is limited to POST requests, state-changing operations reached via GET bypass CSRF protection entirely.

internal/context/auth.go:56-61

if !options.SignOutRequired && !options.DisableCSRF &&
   c.Req.Method == "POST" && !isAPIPath(c.Req.URL.Path) {
    csrf.Validate(c.Context, c.csrf)
    if c.Written() {
        return
    }
}

TeamsAction performs state changes regardless of HTTP method

TeamsAction does not branch on the HTTP method. Instead, it performs state-changing operations (such as adding or removing members) based solely on query parameters (uid, uname) and the :action path parameter. Since the route explicitly allows GET, the add action can be executed via GET.

internal/route/org/teams.go:38-83

func TeamsAction(c *context.Context) {
    uid := com.StrTo(c.Query("uid")).MustInt64()
    if uid == 0 {
        c.Redirect(c.Org.OrgLink + "/teams")
        return
    }

    page := c.Query("page")
    var err error
    switch c.Params(":action") {
    case "add":
        if !c.Org.IsOwner {
            c.NotFound()
            return
        }
        uname := c.Query("uname")
        var u *database.User
        u, err = database.Handle.Users().GetByUsername(c.Req.Context(), uname)
        // ...
        err = c.Org.Team.AddMember(u.ID)
        page = "team"
    }
}

Adding a user to the Owners team grants organization owner privileges

When a user joins the Owners team, OrgUser.IsOwner is set to true. Therefore, adding a user to the Owners team directly results in granting organization owner–equivalent privileges.

internal/database/org_team.go:566-576

ou := new(OrgUser)
if _, err = sess.Where("uid = ?", userID).
    And("org_id = ?", orgID).Get(ou); err != nil {
    return err
}
ou.NumTeams++
if t.IsOwnerTeam() {
    ou.IsOwner = true
}
if _, err = sess.ID(ou.ID).AllCols().Update(ou); err != nil {
    return err
}

Related issue: organization member actions are also state-changing via GET

For reference, organization member management endpoints are also exposed as GET routes that perform state changes without CSRF protection.

internal/cmd/web.go:382

m.Get("/members/action/:action", org.MembersAction)

MembersAction similarly does not branch on HTTP method and performs state-changing operations (public/private toggle, remove, leave) based on query parameters and the :action path parameter.

internal/route/org/members.go:31-71

func MembersAction(c *context.Context) {
    uid := com.StrTo(c.Query("uid")).MustInt64()
    if uid == 0 {
        c.Redirect(c.Org.OrgLink + "/members")
        return
    }

    org := c.Org.Organization
    var err error
    switch c.Params(":action") {
    case "private":
        err = database.ChangeOrgUserStatus(org.ID, uid, false)
    case "public":
        err = database.ChangeOrgUserStatus(org.ID, uid, true)
    case "remove":
        err = org.RemoveMember(uid)
    case "leave":
        err = org.RemoveMember(c.User.ID)
    }
}
