description
Affected Gitea versions can expose metadata for private repositories through the watched-repositories API after a user’s repository access has been revoked. An authenticated user must have previously watched the repository while authorized, then lose access, to retrieve its identifying and connection metadata.
mitigation
Upgrade Gitea to version 1.27.0 or 28.0.0, as applicable. Until upgraded, review and remove stale repository watches for users whose access has changed.
fixed in 1.27.0
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
