CVE-2026-60004: Gitea: Remote Code Execution via diffpatch Git Hook Installation

September 8, 2026

Gitea’s diffpatch endpoint can be abused to install and execute a Git hook from repository-controlled content.

An attacker with ordinary write access to a repository can execute arbitrary shell commands as the Gitea OS user. With default open registration, an unauthenticated visitor can obtain the required write access by registering an account and creating a repository.
