Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Gitea versions before 1.25.0 ship with default SSH server settings that advertise weak or deprecated algorithms, including some key exchange methods (ecdh-sha2-nistp256, nistp384, nistp521), the hmac-sha1 MAC, and the ssh-rsa host key. The source gives few details on how these weaknesses could be exploited. Upgrade to Gitea 1.25.0 or later, which fixes the defaults; the source lists no other workaround beyond manually setting the SSH server options.
