A critical remote code execution bug in Gogs, a self-hosted Git service, remains unpatched despite being reported to project maintainers in mid-March, allowing any authenticated user to fully compromise vulnerable servers1. The 9.4-rated flaw can be exploited to steal credentials, multi-factor authentication secrets, and modify code in hosted repositories, posing a significant threat to supply-chain security. An exploit module is now publicly available, increasing the risk of widespread attacks.
