CVE-2026-73130 | BDVDB-2026-388941 Detail

GiteaGitea

Description#

Gitea does not limit the length of the gitignores field accepted by repository-creation forms and the API. Repository initialization splits the field into template names, repeatedly reads the referenced templates, and buffers their contents in memory. An attacker who can create repositories can submit an oversized value to amplify template reads and memory use, impairing availability.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact none, availability impact low. Attack vector: network.

Weaknesses#
