{"id":"CVE-2026-79960","published":"2026-10-06T20:17:33.660","lastModified":"2026-10-07T15:17:54.240","description":"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.","cvssScore":7.1,"cvssSeverity":"HIGH","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-863"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.0.0/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/37306","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.0.0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-7769-9pr9-m24h","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/37306","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.0.0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-7769-9pr9-m24h","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
