AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026

Vikunja versions before 2.6.0 ship authentication endpoints under /api/v2 (login, register, password-reset, and OAuth token issuance) with no rate limiting, so remote unauthenticated attackers can hammer them with unbounded requests to guess credentials, enumerate accounts, and flood mailboxes with password-reset messages. The exposure is a confidentiality problem — the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector rates high impact to data confidentiality but none to integrity or availability — and a vendor patch exists in 2.6.0. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV, so this is best treated as a hardening gap that becomes serious the moment an instance is reachable from untrusted networks.

HIGH 8.7

DescriptionCVE.org

Vikunja versions before 2.6.0 fail to apply rate limiting to /api/v2 public authentication endpoints including login, register, password-reset, and OAuth token routes. Remote unauthenticated attackers can perform unbounded credential guessing, account enumeration, and password-reset flooding attacks without throttling restrictions.

What every action level means

Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.

This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.

Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
