What changed
CERT-Bund published a security advisory identifying multiple vulnerabilities in Gitea prior to version 1.26.0. The vulnerabilities have a CVSS Base Score of 7.5 (high) and enable remote attackers to disclose information, bypass security measures, and perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks. The CVSS Temporal Score is 6.5 (medium).
Organizations running Gitea should assess whether they are using a version below 1.26.0 and apply the vendor's mitigation measures promptly. Since Gitea is used for code repository hosting, a compromise could affect the confidentiality and integrity of source code and development workflows.
