About Wekan Project Wekan
CVE-2026-25560 affects Wekan Project Wekan, a product from Wekan Project. Before acting, confirm where Wekan Project Wekan runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an LDAP filter injection vulnerability in LDAP authentication. User-supplied username input is incorporated into LDAP search filters and DN-related values without adequate escaping, allowing an attacker to manipulate LDAP queries during authentication.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs no login, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

How to detect it
- Inventory every instance of Wekan Project Wekan and record the running version against the affected range above.
- Check external attack surface scans for internet facing instances of the component.
- Review logs on affected systems for unusual requests, errors or new processes around the vulnerable function.
- Confirm with an authenticated vulnerability scan once your scanner has a check for this CVE.
How to fix it
- Apply the fixed version of Wekan Project Wekan named in the vendor advisory.
- If patching must wait, restrict network access to the affected service and put it behind authentication or a web application firewall rule.
- Rescan after the change to prove the exposure is gone, then close the ticket.

Wekan is an open source kanban tool built with Meteor. In versions 8.31.0 through 8.33, the globalwebhooks publication exposes all global webhook integrations—including sensitive url and token fields—without performing any authentication check on the server side. Although the subscription is normally invoked from the admin settings page, the server-side publication has no access control, meaning any DDP client, including unauthenticated ones, can subscribe and receive the data. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to retrieve global webhook URLs and authentication tokens, potentially enabling unauthorized use of those webhooks and access to connected external services. This issue has been fixed in version 8.34.
Wekan is an open source kanban tool built with Meteor. Versions 8.32 and 8.33 are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via attachment URL loading. During board import in Wekan, attachment URLs from user-supplied JSON data are fetched directly by the server without any URL validation or filtering, affecting both the Wekan and Trello import flows. The parseActivities() and parseActions() methods extract user-controlled attachment URLs, which are then passed directly to Attachments.load() for download with no sanitization. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability allows any authenticated user to make the server issue arbitrary HTTP requests, potentially accessing internal network services such as cloud instance metadata endpoints (exposing IAM credentials), internal databases, and admin panels that are otherwise unreachable from outside the network. This issue has been fixed in version 8.34.
Wekan versions prior to 8.20 allow non-administrative users to access migration functionality due to insufficient permission checks, potentially resulting in unauthorized migration operations.
WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in checklist creation and related checklist routes. The implementation does not verify that the supplied cardId belongs to the supplied boardId, allowing cross-board ID tampering by manipulating identifiers.
WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in checklist creation and related checklist routes. The implementation does not verify that the supplied cardId belongs to the supplied boardId, allowing cross-board ID tampering by manipulating identifiers.
WeKan versions prior to 8.19 contain an authorization weakness in the attachment upload API. The API does not fully validate that provided identifiers (such as boardId, cardId, swimlaneId, and listId) are consistent and refer to a coherent card/board relationship, enabling attempts to upload attachments with mismatched object relationships.
