CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedGitea versions prior to 1.27.0 are vulnerable to a server-side request forgery (SSRF) that enables authenticated attackers to bypass existing protections, allowing them to exploit HTTP fetch operations. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to internal services, cloud instance metadata, and sensitive local files, including application configurations with database credentials. Organizations using Gitea should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of data exfiltration and unauthorized access.

Original NVD Description
Gitea prior to 1.27.0 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to bypass SSRF protections by exploiting HTTP fetch operations in migration and OAuth avatar code paths that use Go's default http.Get without a custom DialContext. Attackers can supply arbitrary URLs through release asset download URLs, pull-request patch URLs, or OAuth avatar endpoints to reach internal services, cloud instance-metadata endpoints, or read local files such as the application configuration containing database credentials and signing secrets, with exfiltrated content persisted as migration release assets for later retrieval.
