CVE-2026-89182: Gitea

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

With `[repository] FORCE_PRIVATE = true`, Gitea creates new repositories as private, but the post-receive hook still applied the `repo.private=false` push option to an empty repository created by push. Any user who can create repositories could make their new repository public in violation of the instance policy. The default configuration is not affected.

Affected products

• Gitea Gitea: from 1.27.0, up to and including 28.0.0
