Hackers now exploit critical Gitea flaw in code injection attacks

Attackers are actively exploiting a critical-severity vulnerability in Gitea, a self-hosted Git service, according to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The vulnerability enables code injection attacks against organizations running affected Gitea instances.

Why it matters: Any organization running Gitea should prioritize patching immediately, as exploitation is already active in the wild and code injection could lead to remote code execution (RCE) and compromise of source code repositories.
