If you cannot patch yet, restrict project write access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual bucket deletion activity to mitigate potential exploitation.
Description
Vikunja versions prior to 2.7.1 have an improper authorization vulnerability in the canDoBucket function. This flaw allows users with project write access to delete buckets by exploiting a mismatched view ID. Attackers can bypass the last-bucket protection by requesting deletion through another view's bucket endpoint, resulting in dangling references to default or done buckets and inconsistent task bucket states.
