gogs.io/gogs fixed: 0.12.5 
Upgrade gogs.io/gogs to 0.12.5
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for gogs.io/gogs

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-65f3-3278-7m65, inspect your project dependencies for Duplicate Advisory:

inspect dependencies for gogs.io/gogs

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.12.5), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-gw5h-h6hj-f56g. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description ### Impact Expired PAM accounts and accounts with expired passwords are continued to be seen as valid. Installations use PAM as authentication sources are affected. ### Patches Expired PAM accounts and accounts with expired passwords are no longer being seen as valid. Users should upgrade to 0.12.5 or the latest 0.13.0+dev. ### Workarounds In addition to marking PAM accounts as expired, also disable/lock them. Running `usermod -L <username>` will add an exclamation mark to the password hash and would result in wrong passwords responses when trying to login. ### References https://huntr.dev/bounties/ea82cfc9-b55c-41fe-ae58-0d0e0bd7ab62/ ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please post on https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/6810.
