kan vulnerability

What happened

kan through 0.6.0 fails to properly validate board creation permissions in the GitHub project import endpoint, allowing guests to create boards despite lacking board:create permission. Attackers can bypass authorization checks by using the importProjects mutation to create boards while remaining blocked on direct creation paths.

Affected versions

kan: 0 through 0.6.0 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
