# Gitea: heatmap API leaks private-repo contribution counts to public-only tokens

The user heatmap API endpoint ignored the public-only restriction on access tokens and counted contributions from private repositories. A holder of a public-only token could read contribution counts and 15-minute activity buckets for a user, but not repository names or contents.

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

## Fix

- For public-only tokens the heatmap now only counts activity visible to anonymous users; the fixed version is unknown

## Timeline

## From the sources

`GET /api/v1/users/{username}/heatmap` computed the contribution heatmap with the repository access of the token owner and ignored the public-only restriction of the access token, unlike the activity feed endpoints. A holder of a user's public-only token could read contribution counts and their 15-minute time buckets that stem from that user's activity in private repositories. Repository names and contents were not disclosed. For public-only tokens the heatmap now only counts activity visible to anonymous users.
