CVE-2026-73130— Gitea repository initialization resource exhaustion

Quick assessment

Affected
Gitea Gitea
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Gitea 对仓库创建表单和 API 所接受的 字段的长度未做限制。仓库初始化过程中，系统会将该字段拆分为模板名称，并重复读取所引用的模板，同时将这些模板的内容缓存在内存中。攻击者若能创建仓库，即可提交一个过长的值，从而放大模板读取次数和内存消耗，进而影响系统的可用性。

Vulnerability Title
Gitea repository initialization resource exhaustion
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Gitea does not limit the length of the gitignores field accepted by repository-creation forms and the API. Repository initialization splits the field into template names, repeatedly reads the referenced templates, and buffers their contents in memory. An attacker who can create repositories can submit an oversized value to amplify template reads and memory use, impairing availability.
