CVE-2026-58434: CWE-200 in Gitea Gitea Open Source Git Server
Private Repository Metadata Remains Accessible After Access Revocation
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-58434 is a vulnerability in Gitea (code.gitea.io/gitea) affecting versions before 1.27.0. It allows users who have lost access to a private repository to continue retrieving repository metadata through the starred repository API endpoint. Although direct access to the repository and its contents is blocked, metadata such as the repository name, description, and visibility remain accessible. This issue relates to improper access control and information exposure (CWE-200, CWE-862). The vulnerability is rated as low severity and a patch is available to address it.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to unauthorized disclosure of repository metadata after access revocation. No repository contents, source code, or sensitive collaborator information are exposed. This could potentially reveal some organizational or project information but does not compromise the confidentiality of the repository data itself.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should upgrade Gitea to version 1.27.0 or later to resolve the issue. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation requires applying the official fix. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.
