{"id":"CVE-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":["GHSA-7769-9pr9-m24h"],"modified":"2026-10-08T02:52:01.451398767Z","published":"2026-10-06T19:24:55.742Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/79xxx/CVE-2026-79960.json","cna_assigner":"Gitea"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.0.0/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/79xxx/CVE-2026-79960.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","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":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-79960"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/37306"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"15b8a5805adf57c5189602008d38cccfd3c795e0"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.27.3"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["v29.0.0-dev","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-2026-79960.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:L/A:N"}]}
