Description

Forgejo before 13.0.2 allows attackers to write to unintended files, and possibly obtain server shell access, because of mishandling of out-of-repository symlink destinations for template repositories. This is also fixed for 11 LTS in 11.0.7 and later.

Affected products

• Forgejo: from 12.0.0 before 13.0.2; before 11.0.7 — fixed in 11.0.7, 13.0.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Forgejo 11.0.7, 13.0.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
