+  "details": "### Summary\n\nThe Gogs API still accepts tokens in URL parameters such as `token` and `access_token`, which can leak through logs, browser history, and referrers.\n\n### Details\n\nA static review shows that the API still checks tokens in the URL query before looking at headers:\n\n  - internal/context/auth.go reads `c.Query(\"token\")`\n  - internal/context/auth.go falls back to `c.Query(\"access_token\")`\n  - internal/context/auth.go only checks the `Authorization` header when the query token is empty\n  - internal/context/auth.go authenticates using that token and marks the request as token-authenticated\n\nToken-authenticated requests are accepted by API routes through `c.IsTokenAuth` checks:\n  - internal/route/api/v1/api.go\n\n### Impact\n\nIf tokens are sent in URLs such as `/api/v1/user?token=...`, they can leak in logs, browser or shell history, and referrer headers, and can be reused until revoked.\n\n### Recommended Fix\n\n- Authentication headers should be used exclusively for token transmission.\n- Token parameters should be blocked at the proxy or WAF level.\n- Query strings should be scrubbed from logs.\n- A strict referrer policy should be set.\n\n### Remediation\n\nA fix is available at https://github.com/gogs/gogs/releases/tag/v0.14.2.",
