High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-76216

NVD analysis in progress

Vikunja through 2.4.0 contains a principal-type confusion vulnerability where LinkSharing principals with id N are treated as user principals with users.id == N at three permission checks lacking type guards. Attackers with a link-share JWT can remove victims from teams, enumerate and delete victim bot users, or read team rosters by exploiting id collisions in the autoincrement space.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
Changing an identifier in the request grants access to another user’s data.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.

Read automatically from the CVSS vector, the weakness type (CWE) and the EPSS score. The technical description above remains the one published by NIST.
