AI-suggested

Upgrade Gitea to version 28.4.0 or later, where the authorization check for creating pull requests through AGit has been implemented. No other mitigation is required as the fix is official and complete.

Description

A missing authorization check in Gitea's AGit flow allowed users with limited access (read-only code or wiki write access) to create pull requests without proper permissions. This flaw was fixed in version 28.4.0 by requiring read access to pull requests when creating them through AGit.
