CVE-2026-52815
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedGogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, Gogs has an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability. The GET /api/v1/orgs/:orgname/teams endpoint at internal/route/api/v1/org_team.go:8 returns all teams for any organization without requiring authentication. The route group at internal/route/api/v1/api.go:380-385 lacks the reqToken() middleware, and the listTeams() handler performs no authentication check, exposing team IDs, names, descriptions, and permission levels to any unauthenticated caller. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceGogs versions prior to 0.14.3 contain an unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability in the GET /api/v1/orgs/:orgname/teams endpoint. The route group at internal/route/api/v1/api.go lacks the reqToken() middleware, and the listTeams() handler performs no authentication check, allowing any unauthenticated caller to retrieve team IDs, names, descriptions, and permission levels for all organizations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Gogs versionCheck the Gogs admin panel under 'Site Administration' > 'System Info', or run 'gogs --version' from the binary, or check the installed package version via system package managerAffected if Version is 0.14.3 or lower (the vulnerability affects versions prior to 0.14.3)
-
Verify API endpoint is accessibleMake a GET request to http(s)://<your-gogs-server>/api/v1/orgs/:orgname/teams without providing any authentication token or session cookieAffected if The server responds with HTTP 200 instead of returning a 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden error
-
Inspect response for sensitive data exposureExamine the JSON response from the unauthenticated API call - look for team arrays containing id, name, description, and permission_access fieldsAffected if The response returns a non-empty list of teams with their IDs, names, descriptions, and permission levels for any organization without authentication
-
Check if internal middleware is presentInspect the Gogs source file internal/route/api/v1/api.go around the orgs/:orgname/teams route definition - verify whether reqToken() middleware is present in the route registrationAffected if The route handler is registered without the reqToken() middleware (this requires source code inspection if binary-only deployment)
You are affected if your Gogs version is prior to 0.14.3 AND the /api/v1/orgs/:orgname/teams endpoint returns team data without requiring authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Gogs to version 0.14.3 or later, which adds the required reqToken() middleware to enforce authentication on the affected endpoint.
0.14.3
- Upgrade Gogs to version 0.14.3 or later to address the unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability
- After upgrading, verify that the GET /api/v1/orgs/:orgname/teams endpoint now requires authentication
- Confirm that the internal/route/api/v1/api.go route group now includes the reqToken() middleware for the teams endpoint
