Real-World Exposure
code.gitea.io/giteaReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Open Redirect in GitHub repository go-gitea/gitea prior to 1.19.4. This is most likely a post-auth redirect plus it is a POST based request scenario, so less likely that can be exploited or chained with other bugs that can cause phishing or credential theft.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐹Go | code.gitea.io/gitea | all versions | 1.19.4go get code.gitea.io/gitea@v1.19.4 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for code.gitea.io/gitea, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update code.gitea.io/gitea to 1.19.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cf6v-9j57-v6r6 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Stop reflecting attacker-controlled destinations: resolve every redirect target against an allowlist of paths or hosts you own, prefer a server-side key over a full URL in the request, and reject absolute URLs entirely where the flow only ever needs a relative one.
