AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, administrators should avoid visiting untrusted websites while logged into Gitea or restrict repository administration privileges to trusted users only.
Description
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Gitea versions up to 28.1.0 allows a repository administrator to have the topics of their repository changed by visiting a malicious page. The affected endpoint lacks proper sign-in middleware, enabling unauthorized cross-origin requests. No other repository settings are affected through this route.
