CVE-2026-60018 Details
Description
Gitea's OneDev migration downloader reads the entire remote version response into memory without a size limit and uses a client without a timeout. An authenticated user who can start a repository migration can direct it to an attacker-controlled OneDev-compatible server returning an oversized or never-ending response. This can consume memory and hold migration workers, impairing service availability.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Gitea's OneDev migration feature. The issue arises because the migration downloader reads the entire response from the OneDev server into memory without any size limit, and the HTTP client used for the migration does not have a timeout. This means that an authenticated user who can initiate a repository migration could direct it to a server they control, which could then send a response that is either excessively large or never-ending. As a result, this could consume significant memory, hold up migration workers, and disrupt service availability.
Users can upgrade to Gitea version 1.27.3, which addresses this vulnerability. Instructions for upgrading are available in the Gitea documentation.
