CVE-2026-111919: Vikunja improper access revocation in webhooks

CVE-2026-111919 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-17

Vikunja is a project management and task tracking platform. When a collaborator is removed from a project, their previously-created webhooks continue to deliver project data including task titles and descriptions—even content created after removal. A former collaborator with physical access to their webhook receiver maintains an ongoing feed of all project activity indefinitely.

Technologies: code.vikunja.io/api (Go), Vikunja. Vendors: Go, Vikunja.

Technical details

The vulnerability is improper access revocation (CWE-613): Vikunja's cleanup routine deletes task assignees and subscriptions when a user loses project access, but does not delete webhooks or link shares they created. An authenticated user with prior write access creates a webhook to an attacker-controlled endpoint; after removal, the webhook continues to fire on all project updates, delivering titles and descriptions of tasks created post-revocation. The cleanup path is triggered only on team member removal, not on direct project user removal.
