Changing requests on these routes now return 423 Locked for archived repositories.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `gitea.dev < 28.3.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":15,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
