SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-vvcv-vpph-h844)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474093
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Vikunja versions 0.22.0 through 2.3.0 fail to validate the principal type in API token management. Because
user IDs and link-share IDs are independent numeric sequences and both resolve through a generic
web.Auth.GetID() interface, a link-share JWT whose numeric ID equals a target user's ID is treated as that
user by the /api/v1/tokens endpoints. An authenticated attacker can obtain a target's numeric user ID via
authenticated user search, then create link shares on an attacker-writable project until the link-share
sequence reaches that value, and use the resulting link-share JWT to list, create, and delete the target
user's API tokens (including issuing a new token with attacker-chosen scopes under the target's
permissions). Fixed in version 2.4.0. (CVE-2026-68581)
Solution
Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.4.0 or later.See Also
