CVE-2026-91985
HIGHCVE-2026-91985 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-91985 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.

Description
Vikunja before 2.6.0 fails to properly restrict access to the link-share hash field in single-share read endpoints, allowing read-only members to obtain the share's secret credential. Attackers can exchange the disclosed hash for a link-share JWT at the share's permission level to escalate privileges and perform unauthorized writes or administrative actions.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-91985 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-91985 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-91985. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
