CVE-2026-66849 Details
Description
Gitea's package registry grants authenticated users read access to packages owned by Limited-visibility users without excluding restricted accounts. A restricted user can enumerate and download those packages despite the visibility policy that should prevent this access. The issue affects user-owned package registries and exposes package contents across the intended authorization boundary.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in Gitea's package registry feature, affecting versions through 1.27.2. This vulnerability allows restricted users to access packages owned by Limited-visibility users, contrary to the intended visibility policies. The flaw arises because the access check for user-owned packages does not account for restricted accounts, enabling these users to enumerate and download packages from Limited-visibility users.
Users can upgrade to Gitea version 1.27.3 to address this vulnerability.
