Upgrade Gitea to version 28.4.0 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by removing sensitive user data from the repository search response. No other mitigation is required as the fix is official and complete.

Description

A vulnerability in Gitea versions 28.0.0 through 28.3.x allowed signed-in users to retrieve sensitive information including password hashes, salts, and email addresses of repository owners via the repository search endpoint. This issue was fixed in version 28.4.0 by limiting the commit status response to only include the state and target URL.
