Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
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.
## Affected Versions
Gogs (all current versions)
## Vulnerability Details
### Root Cause: Missing reqToken() middleware on org teams route group
`internal/route/api/v1/api.go` lines 380-385:
```go
// Org teams route group — no reqToken() middleware
m.Group("/:orgname", func() {
m.Get("/teams", org.ListTeams) // No auth required
}, orgAssignment(true))
```
The `orgAssignment(true)` middleware only loads the organization object — it performs no authentication. The `listTeams()` handler at `org_team.go:8` returns all teams unconditionally:
```go
func ListTeams(c *context.APIContext) {
org := c.Org.Organization
teams, err := database.GetTeamsByOrgID(org.ID)
// Returns all teams — no c.IsLogged check, no permission check
}
```
Compare with other org endpoints that correctly require authentication:
```go
m.Group("/orgs/:orgname", func() {
// ... other endpoints ...
}, reqToken(), orgAssignment(true, true)) // reqToken() enforces auth
```
### Attack Chain
- Attacker sends `GET /api/v1/orgs/target-org/teams` with no authentication
- `orgAssignment(true)` loads the organization but does not check auth
- `ListTeams()` queries all teams and returns them
- Response includes team IDs, names, descriptions, and permission levels (read/write/admin/owner)
## Proof of Concept
```bash
# List all teams in an organization — no authentication needed
curl -s "http://TARGET:3000/api/v1/orgs/myorg/teams" | python3 -m json.tool
# Expected: 200 OK with full team list
# [
# {
# "id": 1,
# "name": "Owners",
# "description": "Admin team",
# "permission": "owner"
# },
# {
# "id": 2,
# "name": "backend-devs",
# "description": "Backend development team",
# "permission": "write"
# }
# ]
```
## Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can:
- Enumerate all teams within any organization, including private/internal teams
- Discover team permission levels (read/write/admin/owner), aiding privilege escalation planning
- Map organizational structure and identify high-value targets (admin/owner teams)
- Harvest team IDs for use in other API calls that may have weaker authorization checks
## Suggested Remediation
```go
m.Group("/:orgname", func() {
m.Get("/teams", org.ListTeams)
}, reqToken(), orgAssignment(true))
```
Add `reqToken()` middleware to the org teams route group, consistent with other authenticated org endpoints. Additionally, `ListTeams()` should verify the authenticated user is a member of the organization.
