SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-96q5-xm3p-7m84)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 440167

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, Vikunja's link share
authentication (GetLinkShareFromClaims in pkg/models/link_sharing.go) constructs authorization objects
entirely from JWT claims without any server-side database validation. When a project owner deletes a link
share or downgrades its permissions, all previously issued JWTs continue to grant the original permission
level for up to 72 hours (the default service.jwtttl). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.
(CVE-2026-35594)

Solution

Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.3.0 or later.
