Summary

Vikunja from 2.3.0 until 2.4.0 allows a user with Write but not Admin permission on a shared child project to detach it from its parent hierarchy by submitting parent_project_id equal to 0 to POST /api/v1/projects/{project}. The authorization check bypasses the Admin requirement for zero values, allowing bypass of the fix for CVE-2026-35595.

Risk Assessment

Detaching a project can sever the permission inheritance chain, potentially disrupting collaborator access and compromising the integrity of the owner's project hierarchy.

Recommendation

Upgrade Vikunja to version 2.4.0, which includes a fix enforcing Admin permission checks for zero parent_project_id values.

Original NVD description (English source)

Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. From 2.3.0 until 2.4.0, a user with Write but not Admin permission on a shared child project can detach it from its parent hierarchy by submitting parent_project_id equal to 0 to POST /api/v1/projects/{project}. The Project.CanUpdate authorization check in pkg/models/project_permissions.go and UpdateProject logic in pkg/models/project.go only gate nonzero parent values, while UpdateProject always persists parent_project_id, so the explicit zero value bypasses the Admin requirement introduced for CVE-2026-35595. Detachment severs the recursive permission-inheritance chain and can disrupt the owner’s hierarchy and inherited collaborator access. This issue is fixed in version 2.4.0.
