CVE-2026-56765
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.
