CVE-2026-42931Source published Source updated
Denial of Service via Unbounded io.ReadAll in NPM Package Tag Endpoint A flaw was found in Gitea. The server attempts to read the entire request body into memory without a size limit, leading to an Out-of-Memory (OOM) error and crashing the Gitea instance. This can result in a persistent denial of service, making all hosted services unavailable to users. Red Hat products that bundle code.gitea.io/gitea as a Go dependency are affected by this vulnerability. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-770.

- Mitigation guidance
- If a reverse proxy (e.g., nginx, HAProxy) sits in front of the Gitea-bundling application, configure a maximum client request body size (e.g., client_max_body_size 100m in nginx) to limit the data that can reach the vulnerable endpoint. This does not fully remediate the issue but reduces the attack surface.
