Executive Summary

This vulnerability allows authenticated users to view all members of a private organization in Gitea through the /orgs/{org}/members API endpoint. The issue occurs because a previous fix missed the ListMembers function, which still incorrectly exposes sensitive membership data due to flawed authorization checks.

Detection Guidance

Check Gitea version with 'gitea --version' or via admin panel. If version is 1.26.4 or earlier, the system is vulnerable. Monitor API logs for repeated requests to /orgs/{org}/members endpoint by authenticated users.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow unauthorized users to access private organization member lists, potentially revealing sensitive information about team structures, roles, or collaborations. This could lead to privacy breaches or targeted attacks against exposed members.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability may violate data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA by exposing personal or sensitive information without proper authorization. Organizations using affected Gitea versions could face compliance violations, legal penalties, or reputational damage due to unauthorized data exposure.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Gitea to version 1.27.0 or later immediately. Review and restrict access to /orgs/{org}/members API endpoint. Audit logs for unauthorized access attempts to member lists.
