CVE-2026-68582 Details
Description
Vikunja versions >= 0.24.0 and <= 2.3.0 contain a broken object level authorization (BOLA) vulnerability in the task-collection endpoint (GET /api/v1/projects/{project}/views/{view}/tasks). The endpoint loads the requested project view from the URL path without verifying the caller is authorized for it. For a link-share token holder, the task scope is pinned to the share's own project, but the view is taken from the attacker-controlled path and never re-validated. As a result, a holder of any project share link can read any other tenant's kanban bucket records — bucket titles and the full created_by user object (username, name, id) — for every view in the instance. The same missing pre-authorization view load also creates a project/view-ID existence oracle (404 vs. non-404) usable by link shares and ordinary authenticated users. Task contents remain constrained to the share's own project and are not disclosed. Fixed in 2.4.0.
A broken object level authorization vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja versions 0.24.0 prior to 2.4.0. The issue resides in the task-collection endpoint, specifically in the handling of project views. The endpoint retrieves the requested view from the URL path without proper authorization checks. This flaw allows holders of project share links to access kanban bucket records from other tenants, including bucket titles and user information of the creators, for every view in the instance. Additionally, the vulnerability creates an oracle for enumerating project and view IDs, further exploiting the lack of authorization validation.
Users can upgrade to Vikunja version 2.4.0, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
