Summary
Vikunja before 2.2.1 contains an authorization flaw where the LinkSharing.ReadAll endpoint exposes share hashes to users with read access, enabling permission escalation to admin-level shares. The GetTaskAttachment endpoint performs permission checks against user-supplied task IDs but fetches attachments by sequential ID without verifying ownership, allowing attackers to download and delete all file attachments across all projects instance-wide.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
