For `pull_request` activity triggered by a maintainer during ordinary triage, such as adding a label, the run was created without requiring approval, while the workflow definition was still taken from the fork head. Where Actions is enabled and a matching runner is registered, fork-controlled workflow code could run on the base repository's runners without an explicit approval.","published":"2026-10-06T20:17:35.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-13T16:41:46.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"88ee5874-cf24-4952-aea0-31affedb7ff2","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-441","CWE-863"],"affected":["gitea/gitea"],"epss":{"score":0.00355,"percentile":0.28021,"date":"2026-10-22","history":[{"date":"2026-10-07","score":0.00148,"percentile":0.03491}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.36%).
