CVE-2026-58424 Details
Description
Permanent Fork PR Workflow Approval Gate Bypass
A vulnerability exists in Gitea's Actions feature, specifically in the handling of fork pull request approvals. When a pull request is made from a fork, Gitea requires approval before the associated workflow can run. However, the approval gate can be permanently bypassed. Once a repository administrator approves a workflow run from a fork PR, Gitea trusts that contributor for all future PRs from the same account on that repository, regardless of the workflow content. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the repository's CI runner without further consent, exploiting the approval granted to a benign PR.
Users are advised to upgrade to Gitea version 1.26.4, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
