Gitea 1.25.5 caches a branch-specific write-permission result across multiple refs in one pre-receive hook session, allowing a per-branch maintainer-edit grant to be reused for other refs and escalate to full repository write access.
CVE-2026-27775
This high-severity CVE scores 8.8 under CISA-ADP (Vulnrichment) CVSS v3.1 (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5%, top 59% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
