{"cve":"CVE-2026-52809","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-24T21:16:56.827","modified":"2026-06-26T05:16:30.067","status":"Deferred","description":"Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, password-reset tokens are generated using conf.Auth.ActivateCodeLives (the account-activation lifetime), not conf.Auth.ResetPasswordCodeLives. The token lifetime is baked into the token itself at generation time and is re-extracted from the token at verification time, making RESET_PASSWORD_CODE_LIVES irrelevant to actual enforcement. When an administrator configures a shorter reset window (e.g., 10 minutes) for compliance or security reasons, reset tokens remain exploitable for the full activation lifetime instead, while the reset email falsely advertises the shorter expiry. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-324","CWE-613"],"references":["https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/tag/v0.14.3","https://github.com/gogs/gogs/security/advisories/GHSA-5c3f-6486-3g7g","https://github.com/gogs/gogs/security/advisories/GHSA-5c3f-6486-3g7g"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-52809","score":0.00202,"percentile":0.10086,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-5c3f-6486-3g7g","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5c3f-6486-3g7g","summary":"Gogs's password-reset tokens use account-activation lifetime, ignoring RESET_PASSWORD_CODE_LIVES","modified":"2026-07-21T13:30:31.752876950Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"gogs.io/gogs","purl":"pkg:golang/gogs.io/gogs","ranges":["<0.14.3"],"fixed":["0.14.3"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-5140","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-5140","summary":"Gogs's password-reset tokens use account-activation lifetime, ignoring RESET_PASSWORD_CODE_LIVES in gogs.io/gogs","modified":"2026-06-25T18:45:26.705054501Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"gogs.io/gogs","purl":"pkg:golang/gogs.io/gogs","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
