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

| Description | The repository search used by the dashboard (`GET /repo/search`) returned the internal commit status object of each repository. Since 28.0.0 that object included the repository owner's full user record, so any signed-in user could read the password hash, salt and email address of the owner of any repository they can see that has a commit status. The response now contains only the state and target URL of the commit status. |
