Short explanation

CVE-2026-73800 in Gitea allows repository and organization secrets to be exposed due to incorrect resolution of fork-based local reusable workflows during pull_request_target events.

Why does it matter?

This vulnerability bypasses the intended separation between trusted base code and untrusted fork code, allowing attackers to execute code and compromise sensitive secrets.

What should be done?

  • Follow vendor advisories to apply updates
  • Review related patch references
  • Upgrade Gitea version

Show the technical text from the sources

Gitea resolves local reusable workflow files from a fork's head commit when a trusted base-branch workflow runs for a pull_request_target event. A fork author can modify a referenced reusable workflow so attacker-controlled code executes with the repository and organization secrets available to that event. Exploitation requires a base workflow that calls a local reusable workflow, and bypasses the intended separation between trusted base code and untrusted fork code.
