Description

CVE-2026-128365 is an authorization vulnerability in Gitea affecting versions from 1.19.0 up to but not including 28.4.0. The flaw involves improper handling when removing a team's review request on a pull request, where a review by the built-in Actions user could be incorrectly counted as an official approval. This could allow a user with permission to change review requests to make an approval by the Actions user count toward branch protection requirements, although merging still requires explicit merge permission. The issue is fixed in version 28.4.0.
