CVE-2026-58440: Gitea: Webhooks created by a collaborator keep firing after their repo access is revoked → ongoing real-time exfiltration of private repo content

July 21, 2026

When a collaborator with admin permission on a private repo creates a webhook, that webhook keeps firing after the collaborator’s access is revoked. Gitea’s revocation cleanup DeleteCollaboration removes the collaboration record, recalculates accesses, drops watches, and unassigns issues — but it does not remove or disable webhooks the user created, and webhook delivery never re-checks whether the creator still has repo access. The former collaborator therefore receives the full payload (issue/comment bodies, commit data) of all future repository events at their controlled endpoint, indefinitely and invisibly.
