Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2022-2024 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-78, that affects the Gogs Git service in all versions prior to 0.12.11. The flaw received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network-accessible attack vectors that require no authentication or user interaction.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply crafted input that results in arbitrary operating-system command execution on the underlying host, granting full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

The referenced commit 15d0d6a94be0098a8227b6b95bdf2daed105ec41 in the Gogs repository addresses the issue; administrators should upgrade to release 0.12.11 or later. The associated huntr.dev report provides additional technical detail on the injection point.

The EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.4526 with a current value of 0.4364, indicating sustained exploitation interest after disclosure.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

SC-27 Platform-independent Applications
addresses: CWE-78

Platform-independent apps typically execute inside a managed runtime or sandbox that restricts direct OS command execution, reducing the ability to exploit OS command injection.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-78

Validates inputs to block special elements that would alter OS command execution.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
