A public-only token with admin scope issued by a site administrator could therefore list private organizations and the email addresses of all users, create organizations, obtain runner registration tokens and create new site administrator accounts, the last of which persists after the token is revoked. Tokens of users who are not site administrators cannot reach these routes; public-only tokens are now rejected on the admin API.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-284","CWE-1259"],"references":["https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.3.0/","https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39690","https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39853","https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.3.0","https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-37xv-m4w7-j2fh"],"reference_tags":[{"url":"https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-28.3.0/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39690","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/39853","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/tag/v28.3.0","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/security/advisories/GHSA-37xv-m4w7-j2fh","tags":[]}],"products":[],"affected":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-11-01T10:34:16.358491727+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-117635","score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09602,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"exploits":[],"weaknesses":[{"name":"Improper Access Control","common_name":null,"deprecated":false,"replaced_by":[],"id":"CWE-284"},{"name":"Improper Restriction of Security Token Assignment","common_name":null,"deprecated":false,"replaced_by":[],"id":"CWE-1259"}],"osv":[],"fixed":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
