CVE-2026-67577 Details
Description
Gitea's activity-feed and contribution-heatmap API handlers do not apply the profile visibility check for restricted accounts viewing Limited-visibility users. A restricted user can retrieve activity records and contribution timestamps that the corresponding profile routes deny. Exposed activity can include repository names, commit messages, and issue or pull request events associated with qualifying public-repository activity.
A vulnerability exists in Gitea's API activity-feed and contribution-heatmap handlers, allowing restricted users to access data from Limited-visibility users. This issue arises because the API routes do not properly enforce profile visibility checks for restricted accounts. As a result, a restricted user can retrieve activity details that should be hidden, such as repository names, commit messages, and events related to issues or pull requests, for any Limited-visibility user with public-repository activity. This vulnerability affects Gitea versions through 1.27.2 and has been patched in version 1.27.3.
Users can upgrade to Gitea version 1.27.3 to address this vulnerability.
