Upgrade to Vikunja version 2.3.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Patch status is not explicitly stated beyond the fix in 2.3.0, so verify with the vendor advisory for the latest guidance.
Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, Vikunja's link share authentication (GetLinkShareFromClaims in pkg/models/link_sharing.go) constructs authorization objects entirely from JWT claims without any server-side database validation. When a project owner deletes a link share or downgrades its permissions, all previously issued JWTs continue to grant the original permission level for up to 72 hours (the default service.jwtttl). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.
