Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-55986 exists.\n\nAffected product: Gitea Open Source Git Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55986/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55986/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-55986","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55986/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-55986","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-46c7-w5w4-h644"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gitea Git Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass ManageCredentials feature restrictions via the Email Management API in Gitea, potentially altering email settings without proper authorization.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Gitea","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Email Management API Bypasses ManageCredentials Feature Restrictions","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Email Management API Bypasses ManageCredentials Feature Restrictions","id":"CVE-2026-55986","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Gitea: OAuth2 sign-in reactivates an administrator-deactivated account on auth sources without refresh tokens (incomplete fix of #38009)","id":"CVE-2026-55987"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Tycon Systems TPDIN-Monitor-WEB2 Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information","id":"CVE-2026-55985"},"products":["Gitea Open Source Git Server"],"published":"2026-08-13","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-14","vendors":["Gitea"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass ManageCredentials feature restrictions via the Email Management API in Gitea, potentially altering email settings without proper authorization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55986/"}
