CVE-2026-68581 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Vikunja affecting versions 0.22.0 through 2.3.0. The flaw stems from API token management logic that fails to validate the principal type when resolving identities. User IDs and link-share IDs are maintained as independent numeric sequences, but both are resolved through a generic identity interface. As a result, a link-share JWT whose numeric identifier collides with a legitimate user ID can be accepted by the /api/v1/tokens endpoints as if it represented that user. An authenticated attacker can first determine a target user’s numeric ID through authenticated user search, then create link shares on a project they can modify until a link-share ID matches the target user ID. The attacker can then present the corresponding link-share JWT to interact with the target user’s API token management functions.
