Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2026-10-14 · updated 2026-10-15
Weakness: CWE-266

Description

Gitea's repository-side team-link API allows a repository administrator who is not an organization owner to attach organization teams to a repository despite RepoAdminChangeTeamAccess being disabled. The endpoint does not enforce the organization's restriction on repository administrators changing team access. This allows unauthorized changes to which organization teams receive repository access.

Affected products

Gitea Open Source Git Server: through 1.27.2
