Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, the Gogs built-in Go SSH server is vulnerable to an unauthenticated, asymmetric Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The application accepts inbound TCP connections and passes them to golang.org/x/crypto/ssh.NewServerConn inside a new goroutine without enforcing any read/write deadlines on the underlying net.Conn. An unauthenticated attacker can open multiple TCP connections to the SSH port and simply withhold the SSH protocol banner. This forces the server to spawn an unbounded number of goroutines that block indefinitely waiting for socket I/O. This leads to complete File Descriptor (FD) exhaustion, preventing legitimate users from accessing the Git SSH service, and ultimately destabilizing the entire Gogs process (e.g., causing internal log rotation failures). This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.

GHSA-xp79-5mx3-jx52 — Gogs has Unauthenticated Asymmetric Denial of Service (DoS) via SSH Handshake Stall (File Descriptor Exhaustion)

Affected: Go: gogs.io/gogs

The Gogs built-in Go SSH server is vulnerable to an unauthenticated, asymmetric Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The application accepts inbound TCP connections and passes them to `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh.NewServerConn` inside a new goroutine without enforcing any read/write deadlines on the underlying `net.Conn`.

An unauthenticated attacker can open multiple TCP connections to the SSH port and simply withhold the SSH protocol banner. This forces the server to spawn an unbounded number of goroutines that block indefinitely waiting for socket I/O. This leads to complete File Descriptor (FD) exhaustion, preventing legitimate users from accessing the Git SSH service, and ultimately destabilizing the entire Gogs process (e.g., causing internal log rotation failures).

### Vulnerability Details

In `internal/ssh/ssh.go`, the `listen` function contains an accept loop that spawns a goroutine for every incoming connection:

```go for { conn, err := listener.Accept() // ... go func() { // VULNERABILITY: No conn.SetDeadline() is called here sConn, chans, reqs, err := ssh.NewServerConn(conn, config) // ... }() }

```

The `golang.org/x/crypto/ssh` package is transport-agnostic and explicitly relies on the caller to manage connection timeouts before initiating the cryptographic handshake. Because Gogs never calls `conn.SetDeadline()`, the call to `NewServerConn` eventually reaches `io.ReadFull` (inside `readVersion()`) and blocks forever on the ke…

WID-SEC-W-2026-2013 — Gogs: Mehrere Schwachstellen

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Gogs ausnutzen, um erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, beliebigen Code auszuführen – sogar mit erweiterten Berechtigungen, was zur vollständigen Kontrolle über das System führen kann –, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen, Benutzer auf bösartige Websites umzuleiten oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.
