GHSA-Q423-49RW-G9MH
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-21 21:51 – Updated: 2026-07-21 21:51Summary
GHSA-8fwc-qjw5-rvgp ("Gitea may send release notification emails for private repositories to users whose access has been revoked", fix in PR #36319 / commit 8a98ac22) added repo_model.ClearRepoWatches as a defense for the state transition public→private. The cleanup was wired into services/repository/repository.go::MakeRepoPrivate only. The sister helper services/repository/repository.go::updateRepository — which is the function used by the API path PATCH /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo} — was not patched and still calls ClearRepoStars only.
As a result, when a public repository is flipped to private via the REST API (rather than via the web Settings → Danger Zone UI), the watch records persist. Affected users can:
- See the now-private repository in
GET /api/v1/user/subscriptions?private=truealong with its fullRepositoryJSON (description, default branch, language, fork status, counts, mirror metadata, license list, etc.) — even though they have no access to the repository. - Have their stale watch records re-leak content through any future notification path that does not include the send-time
CheckRepoUnitUsercheck that was added toservices/mailer/mail_release.go. - Inflate the visible
NumWatchescounter on the repository.
Severity
Medium — CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Same impact class as the original GHSA-8fwc-qjw5-rvgp (which was classified Medium). The send-time mail filter added in the same PR mitigates the release-content disclosure vector. The residual leak is repo metadata via the subscriptions endpoint and stale watcher counts.
CWE-281 (Improper Preservation of Permissions), CWE-359 (Exposure of Private Personal Information), CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information).
Affected Versions
Every release starting from v1.25.4 (the release shipping the original GHSA-8fwc-qjw5-rvgp fix) through HEAD (master @ ef801bb6, 2026-05-16). The follow-up refactor in commit 943ff752 (PR #36959, 2026-03-24) which merged MakeRepoPublic+MakeRepoPrivate did not propagate the ClearRepoWatches call to updateRepository.
Affected Component
services/repository/repository.go:240-302—func updateRepository(ctx, repo, visibilityChanged bool), the sister helper called via the API path. Clears stars on line 273 but never callsClearRepoWatches.routers/api/v1/repo/repo.go::Edit(line 573) →updateBasicProperties(line 678-697) →repo_service.UpdateRepository(ctx, repo, visibilityChanged)(line 726) — the API path that exercises the sister helper.
Steps to Reproduce
The bug is observable purely from static analysis; the live PoC is straightforward.
-
Start a Gitea instance at any release from v1.25.4 onwards (verified static at HEAD
ef801bb6). -
Create users
A(org admin) andB(member). Create a public repositoryA/proj. AsB, watch the repo:curl -u B:<token> -X PUT "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1/repos/A/proj/subscription" -
As
A, flip the repo to private via the REST API (not via the web UI):curl -u A:<token> -X PATCH "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1/repos/A/proj" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"private": true}' -
As
B, listB's watched repos withprivate=true:curl -u B:<token> "https://gitea.example.com/api/v1/user/subscriptions"
The now-private repo A/proj is returned in B's subscription list, with the full Repository payload — including description, default_branch, language, topics, license, fork/branch/issue/release counts, etc.
- Compare with the web-UI path (which IS patched). As
A, flip a different public repoA/proj2to private via Settings → Danger Zone → "Make this repository private" (which callsrepo_service.MakeRepoPrivate). VerifyB's subscription list no longer containsA/proj2.
The asymmetry of outcomes between steps 4 and 5 — for the same state transition — is the gap.
Direct Evidence (no PoC needed)
$ gh api repos/go-gitea/gitea/contents/services/repository/repository.go \
--jq .content | base64 -d | grep -n "ClearRepoWatches\|ClearRepoStars"
154: if err = repo_model.ClearRepoStars(ctx, repo.ID); err != nil {
157: if err = repo_model.ClearRepoWatches(ctx, repo.ID); err != nil { # MakeRepoPrivate
273: if err = repo_model.ClearRepoStars(ctx, repo.ID); err != nil { # updateRepository — ClearRepoWatches missing here
The fix-author's own test file confirms the asymmetry:
$ gh api repos/go-gitea/gitea/contents/services/repository/repository_test.go --jq .content | base64 -d | grep -n "Test.*VisibilityChanged\|Test.*ClearsWatches"
44:func TestUpdateRepositoryVisibilityChanged(t *testing.T) { # only checks act.IsPrivate
73:func TestMakeRepoPrivateClearsWatches(t *testing.T) { # checks watches are cleared
TestUpdateRepositoryVisibilityChanged explicitly calls updateRepository(ctx, repo, true) (line 53) and asserts act.IsPrivate (line 61) — but never verifies GetRepoWatchersIDs returns empty, while the parallel TestMakeRepoPrivateClearsWatches does. The test asymmetry mirrors the fix asymmetry.
Impact
- An organization that uses terraform-gitea or any other REST-API-driven automation to flip repositories private (the canonical IaC pattern) hits
updateRepository, notMakeRepoPrivate. - An organization using the official Gitea SDK (
go-sdk,py-gitea, etc.) orcurlscripts to make repos private after an internal policy change hits the same path. - Multi-tenant Gitea-as-a-service operators with API-driven repository-lifecycle endpoints are exposed.
Stale watch rows leak through GET /user/subscriptions (with the watcher's own credentials), GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/subscribers (stale NumWatches total), and become a re-leak surface for any future notification path that forgets the send-time access check.
Suggested Fix
Drop-in mirror of the call already present in MakeRepoPrivate. In services/repository/repository.go::updateRepository, inside the existing if repo.IsPrivate { ... } branch (around line 265-276), add the ClearRepoWatches call directly after ClearRepoStars:
// services/repository/repository.go
func updateRepository(ctx context.Context, repo *repo_model.Repository, visibilityChanged bool) (err error) {
...
if visibilityChanged {
...
// If repo has become private, we need to set its actions to private.
if repo.IsPrivate {
_, err = e.Where("repo_id = ?", repo.ID).Cols("is_private").Update(&activities_model.Action{
IsPrivate: true,
})
if err != nil {
return err
}
if err = repo_model.ClearRepoStars(ctx, repo.ID); err != nil {
return err
}
// Match MakeRepoPrivate's behavior — see PR #36319 / GHSA-8fwc-qjw5-rvgp.
// Stale watch rows on a now-private repo leak repository metadata to ex-watchers
// via GET /user/subscriptions?private=true and through any future notification
// path that does not have a send-time access check.
if err = repo_model.ClearRepoWatches(ctx, repo.ID); err != nil {
return err
}
}
...
}
...
}
Regression test (mirror of TestMakeRepoPrivateClearsWatches) to add to services/repository/repository_test.go:
func TestUpdateRepositoryClearsWatchesOnVisibilityChange(t *testing.T) {
assert.NoError(t, unittest.PrepareTestDatabase())
repo := unittest.AssertExistsAndLoadBean(t, &repo_model.Repository{ID: 1})
assert.False(t, repo.IsPrivate)
watchers, err := repo_model.GetRepoWatchersIDs(t.Context(), repo.ID)
require.NoError(t, err)
require.NotEmpty(t, watchers)
repo.IsPrivate = true
assert.NoError(t, updateRepository(t.Context(), repo, true))
watchers, err = repo_model.GetRepoWatchersIDs(t.Context(), repo.ID)
assert.NoError(t, err)
assert.Empty(t, watchers)
updatedRepo := unittest.AssertExistsAndLoadBean(t, &repo_model.Repository{ID: repo.ID})
assert.Zero(t, updatedRepo.NumWatches)
}
Optional belt-and-suspenders: an integration test against PATCH /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo} with body {"private": true} that exercises the entire API path through routers/api/v1/repo/repo.go::Edit.
Discovery Methodology
This finding follows the "sister-fix-incomplete" lens that has been productive across several recent reports: pick a recent advisory where the fix lands as a single PR touching one function, then grep the codebase for parallel call sites that should have received the same defense.
For Gitea:
- Enumerate recent advisories via
gh api graphql ... securityVulnerabilities(ecosystem: GO, package: code.gitea.io/gitea). - GHSA-8fwc-qjw5-rvgp stood out because the description names a state transition (public→private) — a class of bug where the defense is typically wired into a single helper.
gh api repos/.../commits/8a98ac221 --jq '.files[] | .filename'listed the fix files;ClearRepoWatcheswas added to one function.grep -rn "ClearRepoWatches\|MakeRepoPrivate"revealed two functions inservices/repository/repository.gothat handle the state transition:MakeRepoPrivate(patched) and the lowercase sisterupdateRepository(unpatched).- Walked the call chain from
routers/api/v1/repo/repo.go::Editto confirm the API path usesupdateRepository, notMakeRepoPrivate.
Pre-emptive rebuttals
- "The send-time filter in
MailNewReleasealready blocks release-content disclosure" — Correct, and acknowledged. The residual leak this report concerns is metadata via theGET /user/subscriptionsendpoint and staleNumWatches. The send-time filter is a necessary but not sufficient defense; theClearRepoWatchescall is the persistence-side belt-and-suspenders that the original PR author explicitly added. - "The web UI is the supported path; the API path is not in scope" — The API is documented public surface (swagger spec in
templates/swagger/v1_json.tmpl), Gitea ships official SDKs (go-sdk,py-gitea) that use exactly this path, and there is an official Terraform provider that exercises it. The existing fix is in a sister helper used by both paths' upstream helper — the fix author plainly intended to defend both. - "AccessMode is
Nonein the subscription response, so the client should infer no-access" — The response still returns the fullRepositorypayload including description, default branch, language, fork status, counts, mirror metadata, OriginalURL, license, etc. (seeservices/convert/repository.go::innerToRepoline 189-259).AccessMode: 0does not gate the metadata fields, only thePermissions{Admin,Push,Pull}triple.

Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
