CVE-2026-52807: Gogs has DOM-based XSS via Milestone Name on New Issue Page

June 23, 2026

The fix for GHSA-vgjm-2cpf-4g7c (DOM-based XSS via milestone selection) was only applied to templates/repo/issue/view_content.tmpl but not to templates/repo/issue/new_form.tmpl. An attacker can store an HTML/JavaScript payload in a milestone name, and when any user opens the New Issue page and interacts with the milestone dropdown, the payload executes in their browser via Semantic UI’s preserveHTML behavior.
