Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Kanboard through 1.2.52, fixed in commit 928c68a, UserViewController::removeSession fails to validate the session id parameter before passing it to RememberMeSessionModel::remove, allowing authenticated users to delete other users' Remember Me sessions. Attackers can enumerate sequential session IDs and mass-invalidate persistent login sessions of any user, including administrators, forcing re-authentication and causing denial of service.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-639

The application uses a user-supplied identifier to look up a record without checking that the requester actually owns it, so changing the identifier in a request returns someone else's data. This is the classic insecure-direct-object-reference — the change-the-ID-in-the-URL bug. Remediation is authorizing every object access against the acting user, not merely confirming they are logged in.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to the latest stable Kanboard release (version newer than 1.2.52) that includes commit 928c68a

  1. 1. Identify the current Kanboard version by checking the file 'app/Version.php' or the admin dashboard.
  2. 2. Navigate to the Kanboard GitHub releases page to find the version that includes the fix from commit 928c68a.
  3. 3. If a stable release version (newer than 1.2.52) containing the fix is available, download the upgrade package from the official repository.
  4. 4. Back up the Kanboard database and all configuration files before upgrading.
  5. 5. Deploy the new version by replacing the application files, preserving the config.php file.
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number in the admin interface.
  7. 7. Test that user login and 'Remember Me' functionality works correctly after the upgrade.
