Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Gitea (code.gitea.io/gitea) versions before 1.23.0 are affected. An attacker who can edit an attachment through the attachment API can give it a file extension that is normally forbidden. No fixed version is listed in the source, so the advisory gives no upgrade target; the source gives few other details.
