Gogs release deletion Git option injection
CVE-2026-26194 is an argument/option injection vulnerability in Gogs, the self-hosted Git service, affecting versions prior to 0.14.2. During release deletion, a user-controlled tag name is passed to Git without the required option separator, allowing the tag value to be interpreted as Git command-line options rather than only as a tag/ref name. This unsafe invocation can cause the release deletion operation to fail and lets an attacker inject Git options into the underlying process. The issue was fixed in Gogs 0.14.2, including migration to a safer git-module API per the provided context.
