Vikunja 0.24.5: Security fix

2024-11-21

If Vikunja is useful to you, please consider buying me a coffee, sponsoring me on GitHub or buying a sticker pack. I'm also offering a hosted version of Vikunja if you want a hassle-free solution for yourself or your team.

This release contains only two security fixes and a handful of changes to the build pipeline.

Please update as soon as possible, especially if you have multiple users on your instance.

A user has reported a way to bypass permission checks under certain circumstances which allowed other users of the same instance to see tasks which they didn't have access to.

I will update this post next week (2024-11-26) to provide more details and an explanation.

Due to changes in xgo, which Vikunja uses for cross-platform builds, there will be no further releases for 32-bit linux systems. If you absolutely need 32-bit linux binaries, please reach out.

To get the upgrade, simply replace the Vikunja binary or pull the latest docker image. You can also check out the update docs for more information about the process.

If you have any questions about this release, please reach out either in the community forum, Twitter / X, Mastodon or via email.

Thank you for using Vikunja, and I look forward to bringing you more enhancements in future updates! (hopefully actually useful ones, not only security fixes)
