NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gitea-fips package and not the gitea-fips package as distributed by Minimos.
See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
When Gitea's built-in SSH server is enabled (START_SSH_SERVER = true), the presented public key was looked up with an SQL LIKE comparison of its encoded content, which is case-insensitive on some databases, including the default SQLite. An attacker who can construct a case variant of another user's registered RSA public key for which they can derive the private key could have that key matched to the victim's account and authenticate over SSH as that user. Keys are now looked up by fingerprint.
