NewCVE-2026-96594 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Minimos:latest gitea to version 28.1.0-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitea package and not the gitea package as distributed by Minimos.
See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
The Gitea API endpoint GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/media/{filepath} wrote files of up to 1 KiB that are stored directly in Git, not in LFS, to the response without the content type and disposition headers Gitea uses for user content. An HTML file committed to a repository was therefore rendered by the browser on the Gitea origin. A user who can push to a repository could run JavaScript in the session of a victim who opens the media URL and act with the victim's permissions.
