CVE-2026-123517: Vikunja information disclosure in team self-removal endpoint

CVE-2026-123517 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-08

Vikunja is a task and project management platform. Authenticated users can probe the system to discover whether private teams exist and learn limited details about them—such as whether a team is SSO-managed or has only one member—without needing access to those teams. While no team names or member information leak, this enumeration capability could enable reconnaissance attacks.

Vendors: Go-Vikunja.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the TeamMember.CanDelete authorization check, which returns true for self-removal requests without verifying the caller is actually a team member. An attacker can send DELETE requests to /teams/{id}/members/{own username} for arbitrary team IDs and use the distinguishable HTTP responses (404, 412, specific error messages, or 200) to infer whether a team exists, is externally managed, or has a single member. The attack requires authentication but no team membership.
