SCA: security update for gitea.com/gitea/runner (GHSA-x4q3-gcj3-m6cf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 472085

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Gitea Runner passes workflow-controlled container options into Docker job container configuration while
 privileged mode is disabled. Host namespace settings, expanded capabilities, and security profile
 overrides can remain effective despite Privileged being forced false. A workflow author able to run jobs
 on an affected Docker-backed runner can use these options to access host namespaces and execute commands
 as root on the runner host, bypassing the intended container isolation. (CVE-2026-73802)

Solution

Update the gitea.com/gitea/runner library and its related packages to version 1.0.9-0.20260731160927-34bfa1915022 or later.
