List of CVEs: CVE-2020-14144, CVE-2020-15867
This module leverages an insecure setting to get remote code
execution on the target OS in the context of the user
running Gogs. This is possible when the current user is
allowed to create git hooks, which is the default for
administrative users. For non-administrative users, the
permission needs to be specifically granted by an
administrator. To achieve code execution, the module
authenticates to the Gogs web interface, creates a temporary
repository, sets a post-receive git hook with the payload
and creates a dummy file in the repository. This last action
will trigger the git hook and execute the payload.
Everything is done through the web interface. No mitigation
has been implemented so far (latest stable version is
0.12.3). This module has been tested successfully against
version 0.12.3 on docker. Windows version could not be
tested since the git hook feature seems to be broken.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Reliability:
- repeatable-session: The module is expected to get a shell every time it runs.
Stability:
- crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.
