CVE-2026-25120: Gogs Allows Cross-Repository Comment Deletion via DeleteComment

February 17, 2026 (updated February 19, 2026)

The POST /:owner/:repo/issues/comments/:id/delete endpoint does not verify that the comment belongs to the repository specified in the URL. This allows a repository administrator to delete comments from any other repository by supplying arbitrary comment IDs, bypassing authorization controls.
