Summary

| --- | --- | | Versions tested | `gitea/gitea:1.26.2` (digest `sha256:7d13848af12645600a5f9d93ee2560daa9c6fa6b5b859b7bff3a5e1c0b661031`); `gitea/gitea:latest` resolves to the same digest at time of writing | | Source review | `git checkout v1.26.2` (commit `2c749ce`) | | Reproduction | `bash run_poc.sh` (single shot: brings up containers, runs three PoCs, prints captured evidence, tears down on exit) | | Files touched by the fixes | `modules/hostmatcher/hostmatcher.go`, `modules/auth/openid/openid.go` | ## Summary Gitea guards outbound HTTP from webhooks and repo migration with `net.Dialer.Control`, the correct hook point. The IP classifier behind it misses ten address families, of which CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) is the practically important one because it is plain IPv4 and is used today by Tailscale, AWS VPC secondary CIDRs, and several Kubernetes pod-CIDR conventions. Any logged-in user can create a webhook pointing at an internal CGNAT host. The full HTTP response from that host (status, headers, body up to 1 MB) is stored in the webhook delivery log and rendered to the webhook owner on the hook detail page. The same gap applies to repo migration. Separately, the OpenID sign-in form at `/user/login/openid` fetches the user-supplied provider URL server-side via `openid-go`, which uses `http.DefaultClient`. No `hostmatcher`, no IP filter, no CSRF, no authentication. When OpenID sign-in is enabled, anyone on the internet can drive Gitea into making arbitrary GET requests against internal IPs. Both reproduce on `gitea/gitea:1.26.2` (current stable) in default configuration. The bundled `run_poc.sh` reproduces all three primitives end-to-end in about one minute and tears the lab down at exit. --- ## Finding 1: hostmatcher classifier passes CGNAT and IPv6 transition prefixes ### The bug `modules/hostmatcher/hostmatcher.go:107-119`, the `external` builtin: ```go case MatchBuiltinExternal: if ip.IsGlobalUnicast() && !ip.IsPrivate() { return true } ``` `IsGlobalUnicast() && !IsPrivate()` was written for stack bookkeeping, not as a security boundary. It catches RFC 1918, RFC 4193 ULA, link-local, loopback, and the IPv4-mapped `::ffff:0:0/96` prefix (because `IsPrivate` un-embeds that range via `net.IP.To4()`). Every other IPv6 transition prefix returns nil from `To4()`, so the embedded IPv4 is invisible to the classifier. Address families that pass the guard, verified live on 1.26.2: | Family | Example | Why missed | | --- | --- | --- | | CGNAT, RFC 6598 | `100.64.0.1` | `IsPrivate()` checks 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 only | | NAT64 well-known, RFC 6052 | `64:ff9b::7f00:1` | `To4()` un-embeds only `::ffff:0:0/96` | | NAT64 local-use, RFC 8215 | `64:ff9b:1::1` | same | | 6to4, RFC 3056 | `2002:7f00:1::` | same | | Teredo, RFC 4380 | `2001::abcd` | same | | IPv4-compatible | `::169.254.169.254` | same | | SIIT, RFC 6145 | `::ffff:0:7f00:1` | same | | Documentation | `2001:db8::1` | same | | Benchmarking, RFC 2544 | `198.18.0.1` | not in any private check | | TEST-NET, RFC 5737 | `192.0.2.1` | same | CGNAT is the one that needs no IPv6 infrastructure. The 100.64.0.0/10 block overlaps with Tailscale (100.x), AWS VPC secondary CIDRs, and several Kubernetes pod-CIDR conventions. Any Gitea instance that shares a network with services on a CGNAT address is exploitable in default config. NAT64, 6to4, Teredo, and SIIT need the matching gateway on the network to actually carry the packet. The guard still passes the address, so the bug is real at the guard layer; impact depends on whether the deployment has the corresponding transition mechanism. Lab confirmed: the guard passes, the connection then fails with `network is unreachable` on a stock Linux box. The wrapping `net.Dialer.Control` callback is structurally correct (fires per redirect hop, post-DNS, pre-connect). The classifier is the only broken part. ### Reachable sinks Webhook delivery, `services/webhook/deliver.go`: ```go // :321-328 webhookHTTPClient =
