CVE-2026-101029: Gitea migration and pull mirror SSRF through multi-answer DNS

• Severity: medium (CVSS 4.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2026-10-06 · updated 2026-10-15
• Weakness: CWE-209

Description

Gitea's repository migration and pull mirror egress checks could be bypassed with a hostname that returns multiple DNS answers, because the address that was validated was not necessarily the address Git later connected to. A low-privileged user who can create migrations or mirrors could direct the server to internal services, reading from and writing to reachable internal Git or HTTP endpoints. Content from internal responses could additionally be disclosed through migration and mirror error messages.

Affected products

• Gitea Open Source Git Server: before 28.0.0 — fixed in 28.0.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Gitea Open Source Git Server 28.0.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
