Summary
Kaneo before 2.1.6 has a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in API routes that lack membership checks. An authenticated user can access other workspaces by supplying project, task, label or workspace identifiers, and attackers who obtain those identifiers, for example from shared project links, can read projects and tasks, modify or delete tasks, labels and comments, and search workspace contents. The CVSS 4.0 vector rates the attack as network-reachable with low privileges required and no user interaction.
