CVE-2026-70407 Details
Description
Gitea's organization-list API does not enforce the read:organization token scope. A token limited to another category, such as read:misc, can retrieve organization metadata visible to its owner. For a site administrator's token, the response can include Limited and private organizations, bypassing the intended restriction on the token's delegated access.
A vulnerability exists in Gitea's organization-list API endpoint, specifically in versions through 1.27.2. The endpoint fails to enforce the required 'read:organization' token scope, allowing tokens with only 'read:misc' to access organization metadata. This issue is particularly concerning for site administrators, as their tokens can retrieve information about limited and private organizations, bypassing intended access restrictions.
Users can upgrade to Gitea version 1.27.3 to address this vulnerability.
