What fixes it

  • 1.27.3gitea.dev, goGitHubgo get gitea.dev@v1.27.3

A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.

Description

For pull request events, Gitea reads workflow definitions from the pull request head and posts a synthetic skipped status when workflow branch or path filters exclude execution. A fork pull request author can supply a workflow matching a required status context but deliberately prevent it from running. Because skipped statuses count as success, branch protection or organization-required workflow checks can appear satisfied without the mandated workflow executing; no runner or maintainer approval is required for this path.
