| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation conditions cannot be determined - no description, CVSS vector, or CWE is available to identify required access level, configuration state, protocol, or feature enablement. Authentication requirements are not confirmed from available data. Security teams should not assume either unauthenticated or authenticated access is required without consulting the upstream Gitea advisory for 1.27.3. |
| Impact | Risk cannot be meaningfully assessed with the available data. No CVSS vector, EPSS score, KEV status, CWE, or vulnerability description is present. The sole data point is the Alpine Linux vendor advisory naming a fixed package version. CVSS-based prioritization is impossible, and SSVC decision-making cannot progress without knowing the exploitation status, automatable flag, or technical impact. Security teams should treat this as an uncharacterized vulnerability requiring vendor follow-up before risk classification. Gitea's role as a source-code repository host - potentially containing sensitive IP, secrets, and CI/CD pipeline credentials - means that even an uncharacterized vulnerability warrants prompt patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Without a known vulnerability type or attack vector, a specific exploit scenario cannot be constructed. As a general risk posture, Gitea instances exposed to the internet with sensitive repositories or CI/CD integrations should be treated as highest-priority update targets until the vulnerability nature is clarified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 06, 2026
Gitea received a security fix in Alpine Linux package version 1.27.3-r0, addressing an unspecified vulnerability in the self-hosted Git service. The vulnerability type, attack vector, and impact are not disclosed in available intelligence - the record consists solely of an Alpine Linux package advisory naming the fixed version. No CVSS score, CWE classification, or description of exploitation conditions has been published at this time.
RemediationAI
Alpine Linux users running Gitea should upgrade to package version 1.27.3-r0 or later using 'apk upgrade gitea'. Because the underlying vulnerability type is not disclosed, no targeted compensating controls can be recommended - generic mitigations such as restricting network exposure of the Gitea instance to trusted IP ranges and enforcing authentication on all endpoints are prudent interim steps. Users on non-Alpine distributions should consult their respective package maintainers or the upstream Gitea 1.27.3 release notes to determine whether the same fix is included. No vendor advisory URL beyond the Alpine package repository is available in the current intelligence.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Gitea is a self-hosted, open-source Git service written in Go, widely used in homelab, enterprise, and DevOps environments as an alternative to GitHub or GitLab. Alpine Linux maintains its own packaging of Gitea, and the fix version 1.27.3-r0 corresponds to the Alpine package epoch - the upstream Gitea version addressed is approximately 1.27.3. Without a CWE or description, the root cause class (e.g., authentication bypass, code injection, SSRF, privilege escalation) cannot be determined from available data.
