EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 4.9 under CISA-ADP (Vulnrichment) CVSS v3.1 (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). 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).

A fix is available — apply it.

The Gitea API endpoint for creating push mirrors (POST /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/push_mirrors) checked only whether mirroring was enabled and not the [mirror] DISABLE_NEW_PUSH setting that the web interface enforces. A repository administrator could therefore create new push mirrors on instances where the site administrator had disabled them. A push mirror pushes all refs of the repository to a remote chosen by the caller, on each commit or on a schedule.
