AI-suggested
Upgrade Gitea to version 28.4.0 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by refusing Git over HTTP requests to repositories still being created. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause.
Description
A missing authorization vulnerability in Gitea allows users with read access to push branches and tags to repositories that are still being created by migration, fork, or template generation, due to the absence of server-side hooks during that window. This issue affects Gitea versions from 1.16.0 up to but not including 28.4.0. The vulnerability has been addressed in version 28.4.0, which now refuses Git over HTTP requests to repositories still in creation.
