CVE-2026-24059: Gitea Open Source Git Server

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The GET /api/v1/user/actions/runners/registration-token endpoint (and its owner- and repository-level equivalents) creates a new runner registration token if none exists, yet the API scope middleware classifies it as read-only because it is a GET request. A holder of a leaked read:user-scoped token can therefore mint a registration token and register a malicious Actions runner that executes workflow jobs with access to repository secrets and source code.

Affected products
