Summary
The vulnerability in Gitea before version 1.25.5 is that LFS push and sync mirror operations do not use the migration HTTP transport, bypassing the configured migration transport protections for those LFS requests.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be exposed to unauthorized LFS data transfer outside allowed migration channels, increasing the risk of data leakage or security policy violation.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Gitea to version 1.25.5 or later to ensure migration transport protections are applied to all LFS operations.
