What is CVE-2025-68971?

In Forgejo versions up to 13.0.3, a vulnerability in the attachment component can lead to a denial of service.

Mitigation measures should be taken to limit file upload sizes and ensure overall system integrity.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
