High CVSS 8.1
CVE-2026-22555
Gitea versions before 1.26.0 allow API users to fork a repository into an organization without first passing the CanCreateOrgRepo check, which can expose organization secrets.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- Access control is applied incorrectly, leaving a protected resource reachable without the required rights.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
