Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Gitea up to 28.3.x. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown part of the component Attachment. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

When a release was edited, the files of the attachments to remove were deleted by the identifiers submitted in the form rather than by the attachments verified to belong to the release. A user with write access to the releases of any repository, including their own, could submit a crafted identifier that resolves to the stored file of another attachment and delete it, provided they know that attachment's UUID. The attachment record stayed, so downloads of the affected issue, comment or release file failed. Release edits now only delete the files of attachments that belong to the release.

The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-123065 since 11/15/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.
