CVE-2026-97204

Gitea label deletion across repository and organization IDs

Published Oct 18, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 3.1 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Deleting a label compared the ID of the repository in the request against the organization ID of organization labels, and the two ID sequences overlap. A user with write access to the issues of a repository could therefore delete the labels of an organization that has the same numeric ID as that repository. Labels are now deleted only within their own repository or organization.
