CVE-2026-55064: Vikunja has an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-35595: Write-only user can detach shared project from parent hierarchy via parent_project_id=0
The fix for CVE-2026-35595 (project re-parenting privilege escalation) only gates reparent operations when parent_project_id > 0. A user with Write (but not Admin) permission on a shared child project can detach it from its parent by sending parent_project_id: 0, bypassing the Admin requirement. This severs the recursive CTE permission inheritance chain, potentially disrupting the project hierarchy and affecting inherited access for other collaborators.
