Description
Kaneo versions 2.3.12 before 2.12.2 contain a missing authorization vulnerability that allows authenticated workspace members with viewer or member roles to delete and modify tasks beyond their assigned permissions by exploiting the bulk task endpoint that omits workspace permission checks. Attackers can send requests to the PATCH /api/task/bulk endpoint, which verifies only workspace membership without calling the role-based permission check enforced on all other task endpoints, to permanently delete all tasks or modify task status, priority, assignee, due date, and labels in a workspace.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Fix
Upgrade the affected component to the fixed release for GHSA-gx46-mfgj-vm86, or apply your distribution's backported patch — distro builds are often patched at an older version number, so check your vendor's advisory rather than the upstream version alone.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
