Gitea versions before 1.25.5 have insufficient permission checks for updating or rebasing pull request branches.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-24690 affects Gitea Open Source Git Server versions before 1.25.5. The vulnerability arises from insufficient permission checks on operations that update or rebase pull request branches, potentially allowing unauthorized modification of these branches. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact. No official patch or remediation level is explicitly stated in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker can update or rebase pull request branches without proper permissions, leading to unauthorized changes in the codebase. This compromises the integrity of the repository by allowing potentially malicious or unintended modifications. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is confirmed, restrict access to pull request operations to trusted users only and monitor repository activity for unauthorized changes.
