CVE-2026-107686
Last modified
CVE-2026-107686 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Gitea web handlers for adding and removing reactions on issues and comments did not refuse locked issues for users without write access, although the API did. A signed-in user who could read an issue could therefore add or remove reactions on a locked issue and its comments, bypassing the interaction restriction of the lock. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Only reactions were affected; no content could be changed.
