Summary

The Gitea web route for deleting tags requires only write access to the Code unit, but shares its handler with release deletion and did not check that the target was a plain tag. A collaborator with Code write access and without Releases write access could permanently delete published releases of that repository, including their attachments. Protected tag rules covering the release tag still blocked the deletion.

Risk Assessment

Unauthorized release deletion — a collaborator with limited permissions can permanently delete releases and attachments, potentially leading to loss of critical artifacts and trust.

Recommendation

Update Gitea to a patched version and verify the tag deletion route checks Releases permissions before deleting releases.
