What is CVE-2026-89430?
CVE-2026-89430 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Gitea Gitea, published on 6 Oct 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Gitea validated a push mirror's remote address against the `[migrations]` allow and block lists only when the mirror was created. Each synchronization passed the stored address directly to `git push`, so a name that later resolved to a blocked or internal address was still reached. A user with administrator access to a repository, which includes repositories they create themselves, could aim push mirror synchronization at internal Git services and force-push the repository's contents to them.
