CVE-2026-58443 is a critical incorrect authorization vulnerability in Gitea affecting releases up to and including 1.26.4. The flaw resides in the pull request update API endpoint used to update pull requests. Gitea validates a public-only repository access token against the public base repository identified in the request route, but fails to re-apply the token’s public-only restriction when the operation reaches the private pull request head repository. Authorization for the private head repository then falls back to the associated user account’s normal repository permissions. Under these conditions, a token intended to be limited to public repositories can indirectly cause server-side merge or rebase operations that write commits into a private branch. If Gitea Actions is enabled on the affected private repository, the unauthorized push can also trigger private push-based workflows.
