CVE-2026-55065: Vikunja vulnerable to Improper Authorization and Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

August 28, 2026

A user with only a single self-owned project can permanently destroy the Kanban bucket assignments (task_buckets) and task ordering (task_positions) of any other project view in the entire instance. The ProjectView.Delete model method runs three SQL statements: the first is properly scoped to (view_id, project_id), but the next two cascading deletes on task_buckets and task_positions filter only on the URL-supplied project_view_id. The permission check (CanDelete) gates on Admin of the URL :project but never confirms that the URL :view actually belongs to that project.
