Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2026-02-07 · updated 2026-07-14
Weakness: CWE-863

Description

WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an authorization logic vulnerability where the instance configuration setting allowPrivateOnly is not sufficiently enforced at board creation time. When allowPrivateOnly is enabled, users can still create public boards due to incomplete server-side enforcement.

Affected products

WeKan: before 8.19 — fixed in 8.19

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: WeKan 8.19. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
