CVE-2026-117635
Published:November 01, 2026
Updated:November 04, 2026
The "/api/v1/admin" route group did not enforce the "public-only" restriction of personal access tokens. A public-only token with admin scope issued by a site administrator could therefore list private organizations and the email addresses of all users, create organizations, obtain runner registration tokens and create new site administrator accounts, the last of which persists after the token is revoked. Tokens of users who are not site administrators cannot reach these routes; public-only tokens are now rejected on the admin API.
