CVE-2026-35594
CWE-613Published: April 10, 2026· Updated: Apr 14, 2026
Official Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, Vikunja's link share authentication (GetLinkShareFromClaims in pkg/models/link_sharing.go) constructs authorization objects entirely from JWT claims without any server-side database validation. When a project owner deletes a link share or downgrades its permissions, all previously issued JWTs continue to grant the original permission level for up to 72 hours (the default service.jwtttl). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-35594 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
