Summary

Gitea through 1.27.3 accepts pushed Git trees with two entries of the same name, which is CWE-706, use of an incorrectly resolved name. Gitea's web views show the first entry, while git checkout, Gitea Actions and release archives use the last. A contributor can open a pull request whose diff looks benign while CI and checkouts at the same commit use attacker-controlled content. No privileges or user interaction are needed over the network.

Description from the CNA

Gitea accepted pushed Git trees containing two entries with the same name, which Git's own consistency checks reject. Gitea's web views resolved such a path to the first entry, while `git checkout`, Gitea Actions, and release archives use the last. A contributor could open a pull request whose diff and file views show benign content while CI and checkouts at the same commit use different, attacker-controlled content. Incoming objects are now checked for consistency; objects already stored in existing repositories are not rescanned.
