High CVSS 7.1
CVE-2026-28740
Gitea versions up to and including 1.26.2 allow Git LFS object reuse to authorize private source objects for users who have repository access but lack Code-unit access.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and alter some data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- Changing an identifier in the request grants access to another user’s data.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
