CVE-2026-25946

Gitea OpenID discovery server-side request forgery

Published Oct 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
When OpenID sign-in is enabled, Gitea accepts a user-supplied OpenID URL and performs discovery requests without validating the destination against internal network addresses. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause the server to contact loopback or private-network HTTP services. This can expose internal service behavior and enable interaction with resources that are not directly reachable by the attacker.
