Description
CVE-2026-127958 is a vulnerability in Gitea where draft pull request reviews created via the API were prematurely visible to all users who can read the pull request, including anonymous visitors of public repositories. This occurred because draft reviews were added to the pull request timeline and announced through notifications and activity feeds before being submitted. The issue was fixed in version 28.4.0 by preventing pending reviews from generating timeline entries or notifications until submission.
