Summary

CVE-2022-2024 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Gogs Gogs. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, 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.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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.

Techniques this vulnerability likely enables, inferred from its description, weakness type, and attributed-actor tradecraft. Confidence is per-technique.

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Accessconfidence: HIGH
Unauthenticated network command injection into a public-facing Git service directly enables remote code execution via exploitation of the exposed application.
T1059.004 Unix Shell Executionconfidence: HIGH
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary OS command execution on the underlying host, which maps to use of the Unix shell interpreter.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly blocks the crafted input that triggers OS command injection (CWE-78) before it reaches the shell.

prevent

Limits the privileges of the Gogs process so that even a successful injection cannot obtain full host control.

detect

Enables detection of anomalous command execution or unexpected process behavior resulting from the injection.

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).
