CVE-2026-27761 Details
Description
Gitea versions up to and including 1.26.2 allow repository RSS and Atom feed endpoints to bypass API access token scope checks, exposing private repository commit data to tokens without the required repository scope.
A vulnerability in Gitea versions through 1.26.2 allows personal access tokens (PATs) without repository scope to access private repository commit data via RSS and Atom feed endpoints. The vulnerability arises because these feed handlers do not properly enforce token scope checks, unlike other repository content endpoints that correctly deny access based on token permissions. As a result, sensitive commit information, including full commit messages and committer details, can be leaked to tokens lacking the necessary repository access rights.
Users are advised to upgrade to Gitea version 1.26.4, which addresses this vulnerability by enforcing the necessary token scope checks on the affected feed endpoints.
