description

Gitea versions before 1.27.3 can fail to enforce maintainer approval for Actions workflows associated with fork pull requests. An attacker who can trigger affected pull-request review events may cause workflow code from a fork to run on the base repository's runners without the expected approval.

mitigation

Upgrade Gitea to version 1.27.3 or later. Until upgraded, restrict untrusted users' ability to create or interact with fork pull requests and review events that can trigger Actions workflows.

fixed in 1.27.3
