{"id":"CVE-2026-119627","kind":"vulnerability","aliases":["CVE-2026-119627"],"related":[],"title":"Gitea-style forge: public-only tokens read hidden users' profiles and feeds","description":"The web profile and RSS/Atom feed routes of users and organizations checked only whether a signed-in viewer could see a limited-visibility owner, without considering the `public-only` restriction of the personal access token used to authenticate. Any user holding a public-only token could send it over HTTP Basic authentication to read the profile and activity feed of limited-visibility users and organizations, which are hidden from anonymous visitors and refused on the equivalent API routes. The disclosure covers existence, profile metadata and public activity; it does not grant write access.","summary":"Web profile and RSS/Atom feed routes check only whether a viewer can see a limited-visibility user or organization, ignoring the public-only scope of the access token used. A holder of a public-only token can read the profile and public activity of users and organizations that are otherwise hidden from anonymous visitors.","severity":"unknown","cvss":null,"epss":null,"exploited":false,"exploited_at":null,"products":[],"ecosystems":[],"tags":["package","personal-access-tokens","self-hosted"],"not_affected_if":["no-limited-visibility-accounts"],"how_to_check":null,"fix":null,"status":"open","published_at":"2026-11-01T10:18:37+00:00","first_seen_at":"2026-11-01T10:49:34+00:00","triaged_at":"2026-11-01T10:51:19+00:00","updated_at":"2026-11-01T10:51:19+00:00","category":"package","confidence":0.4,"triage":{"at":"2026-11-01T10:51:19Z","model":"claude-haiku-5-5","output":{"fix":"unknown","reach":"network","title":"Gitea-style forge: public-only tokens read hidden users' profiles and feeds","impact":"low","summary":"Web profile and RSS/Atom feed routes check only whether a viewer can see a limited-visibility user or organization, ignoring the public-only scope of the access token used.
