Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Wekan versions prior to 8.19 and involves an authorization logic flaw. Specifically, the instance configuration setting called allowPrivateOnly is not properly enforced when users create boards. Even if allowPrivateOnly is enabled to restrict board creation to private boards only, users can still create public boards because the server-side enforcement is incomplete.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that users can bypass intended restrictions and create public boards even when the system is configured to allow only private boards. This could lead to unintended exposure of sensitive or private information to unauthorized users.
