Full report sent in mail to [email protected].
In Gogs, versions v0.6.5 through v0.12.10 are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) that leads to an account takeover, in the select assignee component. When an admin selects an assignee from the user’s list, the malicious JavaScript payload in the first name executes that allows an attacker to gain admin privileges.

Why not change underlined parts to $(this).html()? Just in case sanitization won't work.
I want to avoid touching the ancient gogs.js file as much as possible... 😁 until being able to migrate to a modern frontend technologies like ReactJS.
The 0.12.11 has been released that includes the patch of the reported issue.
