DescriptionCVE.org

Vikunja before 2.6.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in CalDAV BasicAuth endpoints that lack rate limiting protection. Remote unauthenticated attackers can issue unbounded credential-guessing requests against /dav, /.well-known, and /feeds routes to bypass the instance's anti-brute-force controls and compromise password-only accounts.

AnalysisAI

Vikunja instances before 2.6.0 expose CalDAV BasicAuth endpoints (/dav, /.well-known, and /feeds) that are not covered by the application's anti-brute-force controls, letting a remote unauthenticated attacker send an unlimited number of credential-guessing requests. Successful guessing against password-only accounts yields full read access to the victim's tasks, projects, and feeds data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a Vikunja deployment below 2.6.0 whose CalDAV/feed endpoints (/dav, /.well-known, /feeds) are reachable by the attacker - typically an instance exposed to the internet or to an untrusted network segment - and at least one account that authenticates with a password guessable from a dictionary or credential list. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) yields 8.7 and reflects unauthenticated, low-complexity, network-reachable exploitation with high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Vikunja to 2.6.0 or later, which the vendor confirms contains the fix (patch status: available from vendor). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
