# Gitea: request to individual user repositories path crashes server with panic

Requesting the /{username}/-/repositories path for an individual user instead of an organization makes the server dereference a nil organization and panic. Each such request returns HTTP 500 and logs a panic, which is a denial of service rather than code execution.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

Requesting `/{username}/-/repositories` for an individual user instead of an organization made the organization home handler dereference a nil organization and panic. The request needs no authentication and no special configuration. The server answered with an HTTP 500 error and logged a panic for each request; the fix returns 404 for individual users.
