Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Gitea. The internal API HTTP client is configured to skip Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate verification, which is an insecure practice. A remote attacker on the same network segment could exploit this vulnerability to perform man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. This allows the attacker to intercept and potentially alter communications with the internal API, leading to unauthorized information disclosure or data manipulation.
