Disclosure summary

When Gitea's web installer is reachable against a database that already contains users, such as after `INSTALL_LOCK` has been reset to `false`, submitting the install form with an administrator username matching an existing account issued an authenticated session for that account without verifying its password. If the account is an administrator, the session grants full administrative access, including changing the account's password. Databases with a single user also did not require the reinstall confirmation.

Original records & references

Repositories cited by this CVE

The saved CVE record references these repositories. A citation can identify affected software, a fix, or related research; it does not verify exploit code. These citations are separate from automated search matches and local association reviews.

GitHub repository matches

Repository matches are links and GitHub-supplied metadata only. They are not verified working proof-of-concept code. Each supported query is bounded to ten pages and at most 1,000 indexed results. This is not a complete index of GitHub or public exploit research. Coverage can also be limited by provider availability, rate limits, rejected metadata, incomplete search results, manual review, and the recorded refresh time.
