What fixes it

No source in this snapshot names a fixed version. The vendor advisories under References are the place to check.

Description

With [repository] FORCE_PRIVATE = true, Gitea creates new repositories as private, but the post-receive hook still applied the repo.private=false push option to an empty repository created by push. Any user who can create repositories could make their new repository public in violation of the instance policy. The default configuration is not affected.
