Gitea · Gitea
Gitea's Org-mode markup renderer, used by the repository markup endpoint, fails to block INCLUDE directives that reference server-side paths, which is a path traversal flaw. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit it through a suitable public repository without user interaction to read files available to the Gitea service account, and if app.ini and its INTERNAL_TOKEN are exposed, can chain that disclosure with internal logger access to modify a Git hook and run commands as the service account.
Gitea's Org-mode markup renderer processes INCLUDE directives supplied to the repository markup endpoint without preventing access to server-side files. An unauthenticated attacker can use a suitable public repository to read files accessible to the Gitea service account. If the disclosed files include app.ini and its INTERNAL_TOKEN, the attacker can chain the disclosure with internal logger access to modify a Git hook and execute commands as the Gitea service account.
