Until an official fix is available, restrict permissions to run Gitea Actions jobs to trusted users only to limit exploitation potential. Monitor for updates from Gitea regarding patches or official mitigations addressing this vulnerability.

Description

Gitea Actions Artifacts V4 signed URLs suffer from an HMAC signature ambiguity that allows an attacker with permission to run a Gitea Actions job to rewrite signed URLs. This enables unauthorized reading of artifacts from other repository tasks and unauthorized writing to other task artifact upload staging areas, including private repositories. The vulnerability arises because the HMAC input concatenates multiple fields without delimiters, allowing different URL parameter combinations to produce the same signature. This flaw affects versions from 1.22.0 up to but not including 1.26.2.
