CVE-2026-59765 high CVSS 7.5

SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in code.gitea.io/gitea (CVE-2026-59765)

Summary

SSRF in code.gitea.io/gitea (CVE-2026-59765). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via DefaultClient. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.27.0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

Gitea has robust SSRF protection via hostmatcher.NewDialContext() for webhook and migration clone URLs, which validates resolved IPs at the TCP dial level. However, three code paths use raw http.Get() (Go's DefaultClient) which completely bypasses this protection, enabling SSRF to internal services and local file read via the file:// scheme.

Vulnerable Code

File: modules/uri/uri.go (line 32) -- Core vulnerability

func Open(uriStr string) (io.ReadCloser, error) {
    u, err := url.Parse(uriStr)
    switch strings.ToLower(u.Scheme) {
    case "http", "https":
        f, err := http.Get(uriStr)   // RAW http.Get -- no hostmatcher filtering
        return f.Body, nil
    case "file":
        return os.Open(u.Path)        // LOCAL FILE READ via file:// scheme
    }
}

Callers in migration path:

  • services/migrations/gitea_uploader.go:340 -- uri.Open(*asset.DownloadURL) for release assets
  • services/migrations/gitea_uploader.go:586 -- uri.Open(pr.PatchURL) for PR patches

File: services/migrations/dump.go (lines 312, 453)

// Line 312 -- release asset download
resp, err := http.Get(*asset.DownloadURL)

// Line 453 -- PR patch download (with self-documenting TODO)
resp, err := http.Get(u) // TODO: This probably needs to use the downloader

File: routers/web/auth/oauth.go (line 306)

func oauth2UpdateAvatarIfNeed(ctx *context.Context, url string, u *user_model.User) {
    resp, err := http.Get(url)…

❓ What is the problem

SSRF (CWE-918) exists in code.gitea.io/gitea. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via DefaultClient without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of code.gitea.io/gitea. Attack surface: DefaultClient / hostmatcher.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 1.27.0.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'code.gitea.io/gitea' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify 
    grep -r 'code.gitea.io/gitea' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で code.gitea.io/gitea を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch 
    Upgrade code.gitea.io/gitea to 1.27.0

    ステージング環境で 1.27.0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify 
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
