PatchTheCVECVE-2026-104633: When migrating a repository from another Gitea instance, Gitea used the page size reported in the source serve
CVE-2026-104633 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 6.5) affecting gitea. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
When migrating a repository from another Gitea instance, Gitea used the page size reported in the source server's API settings to end its paginated downloads. A source that reported `max_response_items` as `0` made these loops run indefinitely and grow server memory until it was exhausted. Any user who can migrate repositories could point a migration at a server they control and cause a denial of service.
