Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Gitea versions prior to 1.26.2
Description Authenticated self routes under the /api/v1/user/... group do not properly enforce the public-only token restriction. This allows a token or OAuth grant marked as public-only to access or modify private account resources, provided it possesses the required read or write scopes. This is a systemic scope-boundary bypass affecting multiple endpoints, including:
  • /api/v1/user: Access to private profiles and settings.
  • /api/v1/user/emails: Management of account email addresses.
  • /api/v1/user/keys: Management of SSH public keys.
  • /api/v1/user/applications/oauth2: Creation and listing of OAuth2 applications, including exposure of client secret.
  • /api/v1/user/actions/secrets/{secretname}: Management of user-level Actions secrets.
  • /api/v1/user/actions/variables: Management of user-level Actions variables.
  • /api/v1/user/actions/runners/...: Management of runners and minting of registration tokens.
  • /api/v1/user/repos: Creation and listing of private repositories.
  • /api/v1/user/actions/runs and /api/v1/user/actions/jobs: Access to private repository workflow metadata.
  • /api/v1/user/subscriptions, /api/v1/user/times, /api/v1/user/stopwatches, /api/v1/user/teams, and /api/v1/user/hooks: Access to private account resources.
Recommendations Update Gitea to version 1.26.2 or later. As a temporary mitigation, restrict the issuance of tokens with write:user or write:repository scopes to only trusted entities to minimize the risk of unauthorized private resource modification.
