| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Gitea. An authenticated attacker can trigger a denial of service by sending a large HTTP request to the NPM package tag API endpoint. The server attempts to read the entire request body into memory without a size limit, leading to an Out-of-Memory (OOM) error and crashing the Gitea instance. This can result in a persistent denial of service, making all hosted services unavailable to users.
