CVE-2026-60004· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

Gitea before 1.27.1 allows remote code execution via the diffpatch API through Git hook installation.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 76/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Aug 25, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Aug 28, 2026.
  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 23.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: gitea.dev (Go) 1.27.1.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to gitea.dev (Go) 1.27.1 or later.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Aug 25, 2026. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Aug 28, 2026.
