CVE-2026-52806: Gogs <= 0.14.2 - Authenticated RCE via git rebase Argument Injection

id: CVE-2026-52806

info:
  name: Gogs <= 0.14.2 - Authenticated RCE via git rebase Argument Injection
  author: DhiyaneshDk,pdteam
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, Gogs allows authenticated users to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the server by creating a pull request with a specially crafted branch name that injects the --exec flag into the git rebase command during the "Rebase before merging" merge operation.
  impact: |
    Authenticated users can execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise.
  remediation: This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.
