CVE-2026-25038: Gitea: Unauthorized Access to Labels of Private Organizations
Gitea 1.26.2 does not properly enforce organization visibility restrictions on organization label read endpoints.
A user without access to a private organization can retrieve labels belonging to that organization through the Organization Labels API. As a result, label metadata intended to be restricted to organization members may be disclosed.
The issue is limited to unauthorized read access. No unauthorized modification of labels was observed.
