Over 8,300 Gitea servers vulnerable to code execution attacks

Over 8,300 publicly exposed Gitea instances remain unpatched against a critical vulnerability, leaving them susceptible to active remote code execution attacks. Shadowserver's monitoring has documented ongoing exploitation of this flaw across affected servers.

Why it matters: Organizations running Internet-exposed Gitea deployments face immediate risk of compromise and should verify patching status and pull their instances from public access or restrict exposure to trusted networks.
