CVE-2026-26292: CWE-284 in Gitea Gitea Open Source Git Server
Gitea versions prior to 1.25.5 have a vulnerability where the migration HTTP transport is not used for LFS push and sync mirror operations. This omission allows these LFS requests to bypass the configured migration transport protections, potentially leading to unauthorized access or actions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-26292 affects Gitea Open Source Git Server versions before 1.25.5. The vulnerability arises because LFS push and sync mirror operations do not utilize the migration HTTP transport, which is intended to enforce migration transport protections. As a result, these LFS requests bypass the configured protections, representing an authorization weakness categorized under CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). No CVSS score or detailed vendor remediation information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The impact is an authorization bypass for LFS push and sync mirror operations, which could allow unauthorized users to perform actions that should be restricted by migration transport protections. The exact consequences depend on the deployment and configuration but may include unauthorized data modification or synchronization.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should review their migration transport configurations and consider restricting LFS push and sync mirror operations through alternative access controls or network restrictions.
