GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j affects the following packages: gogs.io/gogs (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j?

Update gogs.io/gogs to 0.14.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j 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 GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j 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 GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j 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 GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j 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 GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j?

GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 41th 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 GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j?

GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j is classified as CWE-193 (CWE-193). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-4565-r4x7-hg8j was published on June 23, 2026 and was last updated on July 21, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

A repository admin collaborator can escalate their privileges to owner-level access by exploiting an off-by-one error in the ChangeCollaborationAccessMode function.

Vulnerable Code

In internal/database/repo_collaboration.go, line 129:

func (r *Repository) ChangeCollaborationAccessMode(userID int64, mode AccessMode) error {
    // Discard invalid input
    if mode <= AccessModeNone || mode > AccessModeOwner {
        return nil
    }

AccessModeOwner has value 4. The check mode > AccessModeOwner evaluates to 4 > 4 = false, allowing AccessModeOwner to pass through. The correct check should be mode >= AccessModeOwner.

The web route at internal/route/repo/setting.go:413-416 takes the mode as a raw integer from query parameters:

func ChangeCollaborationAccessMode(c *context.Context) {
    if err := c.Repo.Repository.ChangeCollaborationAccessMode(
        c.QueryInt64("uid"),
        database.AccessMode(c.QueryInt("mode"))); err != nil {

This allows an admin collaborator to POST mode=4 and escalate to owner.

Impact

A repository admin collaborator (AccessModeAdmin = 3) can escalate to owner-level access (AccessModeOwner = 4), gaining the ability to:

Delete the repository
Transfer repository ownership to another user
Erase wiki data
Perform all other owner-only operations

The access table is also updated (line 181), so the escalated permissions persist across sessions.

Contrast

The API route at internal/route/api/v1/repo_collaborators.go:46 uses ParseAccessMode() which only returns Read, Write, or Admin - never Owner. The API endpoint is not affected.

Steps to Reproduce

User A creates a private repository
User A adds User B as a collaborator with Admin access (mode=3)
User B logs in and navigates to the repository settings collaboration page

User B sends a POST request:

POST /{owner}/{repo}/settings/collaboration/access_mode?uid={B_uid}&mode=4

User B now has Owner access - the "Danger Zone" section appears with "Delete This Repository" and "Transfer Ownership" buttons

Suggested Fix

Change the validation in internal/database/repo_collaboration.go line 129 from:

if mode <= AccessModeNone || mode > AccessModeOwner {

to:

if mode <= AccessModeNone || mode >= AccessModeOwner {
