MEDIUM 4.3EPSS 0.32%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.32%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Gitea does not properly verify authorization when canceling scheduled auto-merges via the web interface. A user with read access to pull requests may be able to cancel auto-merges scheduled by other users.
