CVE-2018-15178

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gogs versions prior to 0.12

Description The issue allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary websites, potentially leading to phishing attacks. This is achieved via an initial / substring in the redirect to parameter. The isValidRedirect function in routes/user/auth.go is related to this issue.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.12, consider restricting access to the redirect to parameter in the user/login endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the redirect to parameter with initial / substrings until a patch is available.
