CVE-2026-33312 Details
Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.20.2 and prior to version 2.2.0, the `DELETE /api/v1/projects/:project/background` endpoint checks `CanRead` permission instead of `CanUpdate`, allowing any user with read-only access to a project to permanently delete its background image. Version 2.2.0 fixes the issue.
A vulnerability in Vikunja, a self-hosted task management platform, allows read-only users to delete project background images. This issue affects Vikunja versions 0.20.2 prior to 2.2.0. The vulnerability arises because the 'DELETE /api/v1/projects/:project/background' endpoint incorrectly checks for 'CanRead' permission instead of 'CanUpdate', enabling unauthorized deletion of background images.
Users can upgrade to Vikunja version 2.2.0, which addresses this vulnerability by requiring the correct 'CanUpdate' permission for background image deletion.
