Headline
GHSA-ccqv-43vm-4f3w: Gogs allows deletion of internal files
Impact
Unprivileged user accounts can execute arbitrary commands on the Gogs instance with the privileges of the account specified by RUN_USER in the configuration. It allows attackers to access and alter any users’ code hosted on the same instance.
Patches
Deletion of .git files has been prohibited (https://github.com/gogs/gogs/pull/7870). Users should upgrade to 0.13.1 or the latest 0.14.0+dev.
Workarounds
No viable workaround available, please only grant access to trusted users to your Gogs instance on affected versions.

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
