@lunny lunny commented May 13, 2026

This PR fixes two permission-checking gaps in Git and LFS request handling.

What it changes

  • keep wiki Git HTTP pushes on the normal write-permission path, even when proc-receive support is enabled
  • revalidate LFS bearer token requests against the current user state and current repository permissions before allowing access
  • add regression coverage for unauthorized wiki HTTP pushes
  • add LFS tests for blocked users, revoked repository access, read-only upload attempts, and valid write access

Why

  • wiki repositories should not inherit the relaxed refs/for handling used for normal code repositories
  • LFS authorization tokens should not remain usable after a user is disabled or loses repository access

Backport #37695 by @lunny

This PR fixes two permission-checking gaps in Git and LFS request
handling.

## What it changes

- keep wiki Git HTTP pushes on the normal write-permission path, even
when proc-receive support is enabled
- revalidate LFS bearer token requests against the current user state
and current repository permissions before allowing access
- add regression coverage for unauthorized wiki HTTP pushes
- add LFS tests for blocked users, revoked repository access, read-only
upload attempts, and valid write access

## Why

- wiki repositories should not inherit the relaxed refs/for handling
used for normal code repositories
- LFS authorization tokens should not remain usable after a user is
disabled or loses repository access
