Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Gogs repository search

Researcher: Timo Schmid <[email protected]>

Description

Gogs(Go Git Service) is a painless self-hosted Git Service written in
Go. (taken
from [1])

It is very similiar to the github hosting plattform. Multiple users can
create
multiple repositories and share code with others with the git version
control
system. Repositories can be marked as public or private to prevent
access from
unauthorized users.

Gogs provides an api view to give javascript code the possibility to
search for
existing repositories in the system. This view is accessible at
/api/v1/repos/search?q=<search query>.

The q Parameter of this view is vulnerable to SQL injection.

Exploitation Technique

Remote

Severity Level

Critical

CVSS Base Score

8.3 (AV:N / AC:M / Au:N / C:C / I:P / A:P)

CVE-ID

CVE-2014-8682

Impact

The vulnerability results at least in a complete compromise of the database.
Depending on the particular database configuration a compromise of the
system
is also possible.

Status

Fixed by Vendor

Vulnerable Code Section

models/repo.go:
[…]
// SearchRepositoryByName returns given number of repositories whose name
contains keyword.
func SearchRepositoryByName(opt SearchOption) (repos []*Repository, err
error) {
// Prevent SQL inject.
opt.Keyword = FilterSQLInject(opt.Keyword)
if len(opt.Keyword) == 0 {
return repos, nil
}
opt.Keyword = strings.ToLower(opt.Keyword)

repos = make&#40;[]*Repository, 0, opt.Limit&#41;

// Append conditions.
sess := x.Limit&#40;opt.Limit&#41;
if opt.Uid &gt; 0 {
    sess.Where&#40;&quot;owner_id=?&quot;, opt.Uid&#41;
}
if !opt.Private {
    sess.And&#40;&quot;is_private=false&quot;&#41;
}
sess.And&#40;&quot;lower_name like &#39;&#37;&quot; + opt.Keyword + &quot;&#37;&#39;&quot;&#41;.Find&#40;&amp;repos&#41;
return repos, err

}
[…]

The vulnerability exists because of a string concatination in the SQL
query with
user supplied data. Because of the SQL filter at the method entry, attackers
can't use spaces (0x20) and since v0.5.6.1025-g83283b commas are also
filtered.

Response:
{"data":[{"repolink":"bluec0re/test"},{"repolink":"bluec0re/secret"},{"repolink"
:"bluec0re/root@localhost"}],"ok":true}

Solution

This vulnerability could easily be fixed by using prepared statements:

sess.And("lower_name like ?", "%" + opt.Keyword + "%").Find(&repos)

Update to version 0.5.6.1105.
