CVE-2026-25229: Gogs has an Authorization Bypass Allows Cross-Repository Label Modification in Gogs

February 17, 2026 (updated February 19, 2026)

A broken access control vulnerability in Gogs allows authenticated users with write access to any repository to modify labels belonging to other repositories. The UpdateLabel function in the Web UI (internal/route/repo/issue.go) fails to verify that the label being modified belongs to the repository specified in the URL path, enabling cross-repository label tampering attacks.
