{"id":"CVE-2026-70406","summary":"Gitea private comparison disclosure with public-only tokens","details":"Gitea's shared comparison helper omits the token repository-access check used when updating pull requests. A public-only token with read:repository scope can route a comparison or pull request creation through a public base repository and retrieve commit history and diffs from a private head repository accessible to the token owner. This bypasses the token's public-only restriction; it does not remove the account's underlying repository permission checks.","aliases":["GHSA-m78w-jjjx-gp8r"],"modified":"2026-10-16T02:48:02.784313266Z","published":"2026-10-14T14:36:53.729Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/70xxx/CVE-2026-70406.json","cna_assigner":"Gitea"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.27.3/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/70xxx/CVE-2026-70406.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v1.27.3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-m78w-jjjx-gp8r"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-70406"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39006"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39013"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"146cc3eec57174711eac0e0a0c7b38670c6e3922"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.27.2"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v1.27.2","v1.27.1","v1.27.0","v1.27.0-rc0","v1.28.0-dev","v1.27.0-dev","v1.26.0-dev","v1.25.0-dev","v1.24.0-dev","v1.22.0-rc1","v1.23.0-dev","v1.22.0-rc0","v1.21.0-rc0","v1.22.0-dev","v1.20.0-rc0","v1.21.0-dev","v1.20.0-dev","v1.19.0-rc0","v1.18.0-rc0","v1.19.0-dev","v1.18.0-dev","v1.17.0-dev","v1.16.0-rc1","v1.15.0-rc1","v1.16.0-dev","v1.15.0-dev","v1.14.0-dev","v1.13.0-dev","v1.12.0-dev","v1.10.5","v1.11.0-rc1","v1.10.0-rc1","v1.11.0-dev","v1.9.0-rc1","v1.10.0-dev","v1.9.0-dev","v1.7.0-dev","v1.6.0-rc1","v1.6.0-dev","v1.5.0-rc1","v1.5.0-dev","v1.1.0","v1.0.0","v0.9.99"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-70406.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
