| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Gitea |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |

| Description | `POST /{owner}/{repo}/topics` was registered without the sign-in middleware that provides the cross-origin protection, so a request issued by a third-party site was not rejected. A repository administrator who visited a malicious page could have the topics of their repository changed. No other repository settings were reachable through this route. |
