Summary

Gitea through 1.27.3 allows server-side request forgery in repository migration and pull mirror checks (CWE-918). The egress check validates one DNS answer, but Git may connect to another address when a hostname returns multiple answers. A low-privileged user who can create migrations or mirrors can reach internal Git or HTTP endpoints, and some internal content leaks through error messages. The references link to an exploit.

Description from the CNA

Gitea's repository migration and pull mirror egress checks could be bypassed with a hostname that returns multiple DNS answers, because the address that was validated was not necessarily the address Git later connected to. A low-privileged user who can create migrations or mirrors could direct the server to internal services, reading from and writing to reachable internal Git or HTTP endpoints. Content from internal responses could additionally be disclosed through migration and mirror error messages.
