CVE-2026-20706 Details
Description
Gitea versions up to and including 1.26.1 allow repository archive downloads to bypass token scope checks on the web archive download endpoint.
A vulnerability in Gitea versions through 1.26.1 allows repository archive downloads to bypass token scope checks on the web archive download endpoint. This issue arises because the endpoint does not properly validate OAuth2 tokens, enabling tokens with non-repository scopes to access full repository content in private repositories.
Users can upgrade to Gitea version 1.26.2, which includes the necessary token scope checks on the archive download endpoint.
