CVE-2026-58416: Gitea: Fork-PR Actions task can read a third private repository via the collaborative-owner branch (missing fork-PR guard)

July 21, 2026

GetActionsUserRepoPermission (models/perm/access/repo_permission.go) decides whether an Actions task token may access a target repo. Its cross-repo branches each enforce a fork-PR discriminator — except the collaborative-owner branch, which is missing the !task.IsForkPullRequest guard that its sibling has. As a result, when a private repo B lists owner A as a collaborative owner, an attacker-controlled fork pull-request workflow whose base repo is owned by A is granted code-read on B — i.e. the fork’s YAML can clone a third private repository it has no rights to.
