CVE-2026-56765 Details
Description
Vikunja before 2.2.1 contains an authorization flaw where the LinkSharing.ReadAll endpoint exposes share hashes to users with read access, enabling permission escalation to admin-level shares. The GetTaskAttachment endpoint performs permission checks against user-supplied task IDs but fetches attachments by sequential ID without verifying ownership, allowing attackers to download and delete all file attachments across all projects instance-wide.
An authorization vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja versions prior to 2.2.1. The issue arises in the LinkSharing.ReadAll endpoint, which improperly exposes share hashes to users with read access. This flaw enables permission escalation to admin-level shares. Additionally, the GetTaskAttachment endpoint has a cross-project attachment IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability. It performs permission checks based on user-supplied task IDs but retrieves attachments using sequential IDs without verifying ownership. As a result, attackers can download and delete all file attachments across all projects within the instance.
Users are advised to update Vikunja to version 2.2.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
