Gitea OAuth2 authorization codes can be reused after expiry
CVE-2026-26232GHSA-5v69-g2m3-3hq3
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (code.gitea.io/gitea 1.25.5), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-26232 Advisory: Gitea OAuth2 authorization codes can be reused after expiry IDs: CVE-2026-26232, GHSA-5v69-g2m3-3hq3 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-26232 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:28 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: code.gitea.io/gitea 1.25.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Go code.gitea.io/gitea: affected < 1.25.5; fixed in 1.25.5 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Go code.gitea.io/gitea: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on code.gitea.io/gitea. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6336 (OSV record GO-2026-6336 lists affected ranges: Go code.gitea.io/gitea >=0 <1.25.5 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5v69-g2m3-3hq3 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-5v69-g2m3-3hq3 lists affected ranges: Go code.gitea.io/gitea >=0 <1.25.5) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
