CVE-2026-20883
Gitea's stopwatch API does not re-validate repository access permissions.
MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 0.35%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Gitea's stopwatch API does not re-validate repository access permissions. After a user's access to a private repository is revoked, they may still view issue titles and repository names through previously started stopwatches.
