CVE-2026-123504: Vikunja information disclosure in webhook URLs

CVE-2026-123504 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-08

Vikunja is a project management and task organization platform. Read-only project members can view complete webhook target URLs, which often contain embedded API keys or authentication tokens. An attacker with read-only access can extract these credentials and use them to post messages to external services or reuse the keys until they are rotated.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass (CWE-863) and information disclosure (CWE-200) in the webhook listing functionality. The ReadAll and CanRead methods in the webhook permissions layer check only for Project.CanRead instead of Project.CanWrite, allowing read-only members to retrieve full target URLs. While maskCredentials() strips basic-auth and secret fields, it does not redact the TargetURL itself, which commonly embeds API tokens and webhook credentials.
