{"id":"BIT-gitea-2026-94205","summary":"Gitea fork workflow approval bypass through maintainer-triggered events","details":"Gitea Actions decided whether a fork pull request run needed approval based on the user who triggered the event rather than the pull request author. For `pull_request` activity triggered by a maintainer during ordinary triage, such as adding a label, the run was created without requiring approval, while the workflow definition was still taken from the fork head. Where Actions is enabled and a matching runner is registered, fork-controlled workflow code could run on the base repository's runners without an explicit approval.","aliases":["CVE-2026-94205","GHSA-xh39-mxw9-34pp"],"modified":"2026-10-14T11:11:12.983035878Z","published":"2026-10-14T08:43:07.222Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:gitea:gitea:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Critical"},"references":[{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.0.0/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39399"},{"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-xh39-mxw9-34pp"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-94205"}],"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-2026-94205.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
