Description

Impact

DisplayName allows all the characters from users, which leads to an XSS vulnerability when directly displayed in the issue list.

Patches

DisplayName is sanitized before being displayed. Users should upgrade to 0.12.9 or the latest 0.13.0+dev.

Workarounds

Check and update the existing users' display names that contain malicious characters.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update gogs.io/gogs to 0.12.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xq4v-vrp9-vcf2 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
