Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, the OIDC callback handler issues a full JWT token without checking whether the matched user has TOTP two-factor authentication enabled. When a local user with TOTP enrolled is matched via the OIDC email fallback mechanism, the second factor is completely skipped. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Vikunja task management platform allows unauthenticated attackers to circumvent two-factor authentication when OIDC email-based user matching is enabled. The OIDC callback handler issues complete JWT tokens without validating TOTP enrollment status, enabling full account access to users with configured TOTP protection when matched through OIDC email fallback. …
