Summary
A vulnerability in Gitea up to version 1.26.1 inclusive does not enforce repository-unit authorization on issue-template API endpoints. This allows unauthorized users to access sensitive data or functions related to issue templates.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential unauthorized access to issue templates, which could lead to information disclosure or manipulation of the issue reporting process in repositories.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately upgrade Gitea to version 1.26.2 or later, which includes a fix enforcing proper authorization on issue-template API endpoints.
