CVE-2026-27783: Gitea: Missing repository-unit authorization on issue-template API endpoints

June 16, 2026

Three Gitea API endpoints — GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issue_templates, GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issue_config and GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issue_config/validate — read files from the repository’s Code default branch (.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/* and issue_config.yaml) and return their contents, but are registered without the reqRepoReader(unit.TypeCode) authorization middleware that every sibling Code-tree endpoint in the same route group carries.

A user who has access to a private repository through any single repository unit (for example an organization team granted only the Issues unit, with no Code access) can therefore read the issue-template and issue-config files of that repository’s Code tree, which their permission set should not expose.
