What is CVE-2026-0798?

Gitea contains a vulnerability that allows release notification emails for private repositories to be erroneously sent to users whose access has been removed. This occurs when a repository's status changes from public to private; users who previously followed the repository may still receive notifications containing sensitive information such as release titles, tags, and content. This flaw highlights the importance of proper access control and notification management to safeguard sensitive data.
