Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Improper input validation in Gitea Open Source Git Server before 1.25.5 lets authenticated users submit repository-creation requests with unbounded template fields (issue labels, license, readme, fork branch) and unsupported trust-model or object-format values. The upstream fix (PRs 36671/36757) adds MaxSize length constraints and rejects any ObjectFormatName that is not sha1 or sha256. Rated CVSS 9.1 by the reporter, but no public exploit was identified, EPSS is only 0.17% (6th percentile), and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Gitea versions before 1.25.5 lack validation constraints for repository creation fields, including length-limited template fields and trust model or object format values.
Executive ViewAI
Gitea's repository-creation function lacks sufficient input validation in versions before 1.25.5, creating a pathway for authenticated users to submit malformed requests that could disrupt code repository services. Organizations should prioritize patching to 1.25.5 to ensure repository integrity and development workflow continuity. While the technical severity is rated critical (CVSS 9.1), real-world exploitation risk is minimal (0.2% probability, no known active exploitation), making this a standard high-priority patch rather than an incident response.
Within 24 hours: Identify all Gitea deployments and document current versions. Within 7 days: apply patches to upgrade all instances to Gitea 1.25.5 or later, prioritizing internet-facing deployments. Within 30 days: verify all Gitea instances are running patched versions and review any unusual repository creation activity logs from the pre-patch period.
Apply vendor patch: upgrade to Gitea 1.25.5 or later.
