Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-15 18:32 – Updated: 2026-09-15 18:32

Details

Vikunja before 2.6.0 fails to properly restrict access to the link-share hash field in single-share read endpoints, allowing read-only members to obtain the share's secret credential. Attackers can exchange the disclosed hash for a link-share JWT at the share's permission level to escalate privileges and perform unauthorized writes or administrative actions.

Severity

7.5 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
