Summary

Gitea through 1.27.3 has a server-side request forgery flaw in repository migrations (CWE-346, Origin Validation Error). When [migrations] ALLOWED_DOMAINS is set, a hostname on the allow list is accepted without checking its resolved address against the local-network restrictions. A user who can start migrations and control the DNS of an allowed hostname can point it at loopback or private addresses, bypass ALLOW_LOCALNETWORKS = false, and reach internal services from the Gitea server. CVSS 3.1 scores this 7.7 HIGH; CISA has not added it to KEV, and the references contain no exploit link.

Description from the CNA

When `[migrations] ALLOWED_DOMAINS` was configured, a hostname matching the allow list was accepted without checking its resolved address against the local-network restrictions. A user who can start repository migrations and control the DNS of an allowed hostname could make it resolve to loopback or private addresses and bypass `ALLOW_LOCALNETWORKS = false`, reaching internal services from the Gitea server. Instances without `ALLOWED_DOMAINS` configured are not affected by this specific bypass.

Remediation

No fixed version is listed for Gitea through 1.27.3. Instances that do not configure ALLOWED_DOMAINS are not affected by this bypass, so leaving that setting unset avoids it.
