{"id":"CVE-2026-97859","summary":"Gitea API disclosure of private user social graph, keys and stars","details":"Seven Gitea API routes under `/api/v1/users/{username}` (followers, following, following/{target}, starred, subscriptions, keys and gpg_keys) were registered without the `individualPermsChecker` middleware that enforces the visibility of the target user. An authenticated user could therefore read the followers, following list, starred and watched repositories and public SSH and GPG keys of a user with limited or private visibility, whom they could not otherwise see. The issue was fixed in 1.27.3 and 28.0.0 and disclosed with 28.2.0.","aliases":["GHSA-xvfh-qwmh-f92w"],"modified":"2026-10-19T10:45:23.065144485Z","published":"2026-10-18T19:01:04.328Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-862"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/97xxx/CVE-2026-97859.json","cna_assigner":"Gitea"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.2.0/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/97xxx/CVE-2026-97859.json"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39004"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39039"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.2.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-xvfh-qwmh-f92w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-97859"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1dac1bb2f8593d4319125fa6bca9283000a2ddc2"}],"database_specific":{"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.27.2"}]}}],"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-2026-97859.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
