# CVE-2026-123505: Vikunja before 2.7.1 World-Readable Local File Storage and SQLite Database

Status: published. Published: 2026-11-08. Updated: 2026-11-10.

Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an insecure file permissions vulnerability that allows local users to read stored data because localStorage.Write creates blobs world-readable. Local attackers on a shared host can read attachments, project backgrounds and exports, and copy the SQLite database to crack password hashes offline.
