No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx?

GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx affects the following packages: gogs.io/gogs (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx?

Update gogs.io/gogs to 0.12.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for gogs.io/gogs, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx 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-56j7-2pm8-rgmx?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx 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-56j7-2pm8-rgmx?

GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.1%, placing it in the 81th 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.

When was GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-56j7-2pm8-rgmx was published on June 2, 2022 and was last updated on July 8, 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-World Exposure

1 pkg affected

🐹gogs.io/gogs

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

Missing input validation in internal/db/repo_editor.go in Gogs before 0.12.8 allows an attacker to execute code remotely. An unprivileged attacker (registered user) can overwrite the Git configuration in his repository. This leads to Remote Command Execution, because that configuration can contain an option such as sshCommand, which is executed when a master branch is a remote branch (using an ssh:// URI). The remote branch can also be configured by editing the Git configuration file. One can create a new file in a new repository, using the GUI, with "" as its name, and then rename this file to .git/config with the custom configuration content (and then save it).
