CVE-2026-73126Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Workflow-status disclosure via unchecked badge token scopes

Published Oct 14, 2026 · Updated Oct 14, 2026

Authorization bypass in Gitea 1.27.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read private workflow status via badges. GetWorkflowBadge in routers/web/repo/actions/badge.go returns the latest run status without enforcing repository-read scope or the token's public-only restriction. Exploitation requires a token whose owner can access the private repository; disclosure is limited to workflow status, without file contents or repository modification.
