Summary

In Gitea, the /{username} web route accepted personal access tokens over HTTP Basic authentication without checking their scope. A token confined to an unrelated scope, such as read:issue, could read its owner's private activity through the user RSS/Atom feed and the profile activity tab, and other members' activity in a private organization through the organization feed; a public-only token could list the owner's private repositories and organizations and render private profile READMEs. For a site administrator's token this applied to every account.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability exposes private activity, repositories and organizations, including data belonging to the site administrator. This can lead to leakage of information about organizational structure and operations.

Recommendation

Update Gitea to a version where tokens on this route are accepted only for feeds requiring read:user or read:organization scope. Until then, limit the use of narrowly scoped tokens on web routes.

Original NVD description (English source)

The `/{username}` web route accepted personal access tokens over HTTP Basic authentication without checking their scope. A token confined to an unrelated scope, such as `read:issue`, could read its owner's private activity through the user RSS/Atom feed and the profile activity tab, and other members' activity in a private organization through the organization feed; a public-only token could list the owner's private repositories and organizations and render private profile READMEs. For a site administrator's token this applied to every account. Tokens are now accepted on this route only for feeds, which require `read:user` or `read:organization`.
