Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Vikunja versions before 2.6.0 let an authenticated user create task relations through CalDAV without the permission check the REST API enforces. An attacker who knows the UID of a task, including one in a project they cannot access, can attach a subtask or parent relation to it, which is an unauthorized write. Upgrade to Vikunja 2.6.0 or later, which fixes this.
