CVE-2026-59774 (GCVE-0-2026-59774)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-10-14 14:28 – Updated: 2026-10-15 03:56Title
Gitea Org-mode file disclosure and code execution
Summary
Gitea's Org-mode markup renderer processes INCLUDE directives supplied to the repository markup endpoint without preventing access to server-side files. An unauthenticated attacker can use a suitable public repository to read files accessible to the Gitea service account. If the disclosed files include app.ini and its INTERNAL_TOKEN, the attacker can chain the disclosure with internal logger access to modify a Git hook and execute commands as the Gitea service account.
