Description
A vulnerability in Gitea allowed any signed-in user to query the API endpoint GET /api/v1/users/{username}/orgs/{org}/permissions and learn the role of another user within a public or limited organization, even if the membership was concealed. This exposure of sensitive information was fixed in version 28.4.0 by restricting role information to the user themselves, organization members, and site administrators.
