How severe is CVE-2026-52816?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-52816 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-52816?

CVE-2026-52816 affects the following packages: gogs.io/gogs (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix CVE-2026-52816?

Update gogs.io/gogs to 0.14.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-52816 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-52816 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for gogs.io/gogs. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-52816 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-52816?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-52816 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-52816 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-52816 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-52816?

CVE-2026-52816 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 48th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-52816?

CVE-2026-52816 is classified as CWE-80 (CWE-80). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-52816 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-52816 was published on June 24, 2026 and was last updated on July 15, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, the Jupyter Notebook (ipynb) sanitizer endpoint at POST /-/api/sanitize_ipynb allows arbitrary data: URIs without proper restrictions, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The endpoint uses bluemonday.UGCPolicy() with p.AllowURLSchemes("data") which permits all data URI schemes including data:text/html, enabling attackers to inject malicious HTML/JavaScript. Additionally, the endpoint has no authentication middleware, allowing any registered user to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.
