8,300+ Gitea servers exposed to active RCE exploitation
- Engineer — Act: If you self-host Gitea, check your version immediately and patch to the latest release — Shadowserver confirms ongoing RCE exploitation against exposed instances, meaning unpatched servers are actively being targeted now.
- SOC/IR — Act: Audit your estate for internet-exposed Gitea instances and hunt for signs of RCE compromise (unexpected processes, new admin accounts, modified repos) since exploitation is described as active; a compromised source-code platform carries serious supply-chain risk.
- Leader — Plan: Confirm with engineering whether your organization runs self-hosted Gitea and verify patching status this week; a compromised internal code repository would pose a supply-chain risk worth flagging to leadership if exposure is confirmed.
