{"id":"BIT-gitea-2026-79960","summary":"Gitea deploy key pushes acting as the repository owner","details":"When a push was authenticated with a deploy key, Gitea recorded the repository owner as the pusher, so permission checks in the push hook pipeline evaluated the owner instead of the deploy key. A holder of a writable deploy key could create protected tags without being on the tag allow list and change repository visibility through push options, for example making a private repository public. Pull requests created through the AGit flow with a deploy key were also attributed to the owner.","aliases":["CVE-2026-79960","GHSA-7769-9pr9-m24h"],"modified":"2026-10-14T11:11:00.096062575Z","published":"2026-10-14T08:43:02.338Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:gitea:gitea:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"High"},"references":[{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.0.0/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/37306"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.0.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-7769-9pr9-m24h"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-79960"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"gitea","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/gitea"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"28.0.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/gitea/BIT-gitea-2026-79960.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
