# CVE-2025-8110: Gogs Path Traversal Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Gogs Gogs. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-01-12, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2026-02-02 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 85.2% , percentile 99.7: FIRST’s model estimates a 85.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.7% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
