Summary

Vikunja, a task management application, has an improper authorization flaw in its Kanban bucket deletion logic that lets a user with project write access delete buckets they should not be able to remove. The bug is reached remotely over the network, and the attacker needs a low-privileged login to exploit it.

Read the original description

Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an improper authorization vulnerability in canDoBucket that allows users with project write access to delete buckets via a mismatched view ID. Attackers can request deletion through another view's bucket endpoint to bypass the last-bucket rule, leaving dangling default/done bucket references and inconsistent task buckets.
