Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated account on the target Gitea instance (CVSS PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible flaw requiring low-privilege authentication (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N), with partial confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated Gitea user with a low-privilege account - one that should be blocked from managing credentials by the ManageCredentials restriction - sends a crafted request to the Email Management API endpoint. Because the API does not enforce the ManageCredentials permission check, the request succeeds, allowing the attacker to read or alter credential data (such as OAuth tokens or deploy keys) belonging to other users or the instance. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: v1.27.0. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
