CVE-2026-20883: Gitea improperly exposes issue titles and repository names through previously started stopwatches
Gitea’s stopwatch API does not re-validate repository access permissions. After a user’s access to a private repository is revoked, they may still view issue titles and repository names through previously started stopwatches.
