AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026

Broken access control in Gitea before 1.25.5 lets clients retrieve draft release metadata and their attached files through the REST API without holding the repository write permission those drafts are meant to require. The flaw stems from the API omitting a token-scope/write-access check on draft release and attachment endpoints, so read-scoped tokens (and, on publicly readable repositories, unauthenticated callers) can enumerate and download unpublished release content. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS risk is low (0.17%, 6th percentile), and it is not on CISA KEV.

DescriptionCVE.org

Gitea versions before 1.25.5 allow draft release data or attachments to be accessed without the required write permission.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Gitea versions prior to 1.25.5 inadvertently expose unpublished software releases to unauthorized viewing through a broken access control flaw. Unauthenticated users can retrieve and download draft release files on publicly readable repositories, risking premature disclosure of unreleased features, security patches, or competitive information. Organizations using affected versions face potential competitive harm and intellectual property leakage without immediate patching.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours, inventory all Gitea deployments and current versions to identify exposure scope. Within 7 days, upgrade affected instances to Gitea 1.25.5 or later; prioritize any installations hosting draft releases of critical products. Within 30 days, audit REST API access logs for draft release and attachment endpoint queries to detect any unauthorized access, then review draft release contents for sensitive information that may have been exposed.

Business Impact: Medium
