CISA KEV Advisory

Gogs Path Traversal Vulnerability

Gogs contains a path traversal vulnerability affecting improper Symbolic link handling in the PutContents API that could allow for code execution.

Added to KEV: 2026-01-12Federal patch deadline: 2026-02-02

Required Action (CISA)

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Risk Analysis

Gogs contains a path traversal vulnerability in the PutContents API due to improper symbolic link handling, which could lead to code execution. With a CVSS score of 8.8 and a high EPSS score, this vulnerability is severe and has a high likelihood of exploitation. Its inclusion in CISA's KEV catalog confirms active exploitation.

This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild. It is remotely exploitable, requiring low privileges and no user interaction.

Recommended Action

Administrators should apply available patches for Gogs immediately. Implement strict input validation and restrict file upload functionalities to trusted users.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-8110 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.

CISA has added CVE-2025-8110 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
