Summary

Gogs is an open source self-hosted Git service. Prior to 0.14.3, the Jupyter Notebook (ipynb) sanitizer endpoint at POST /-/api/sanitize_ipynb allows arbitrary data: URIs without proper restrictions, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The endpoint uses bluemonday.UGCPolicy() with p.AllowURLSchemes("data") which permits all data URI schemes including data:text/html, enabling attackers to inject malicious HTML/JavaScript. Additionally, the endpoint has no authentication middleware, allowing any registered user to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.14.3.
