Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
Vikunja releases before 2.6.0 return the raw TOTP shared secret from the GET /api/v1/user/settings/totp and /api/v1/user/settings/totp/qrcode endpoints without demanding re-authentication, so anyone holding a valid access token can clone the victim's second factor. Because the exposed seed lets an attacker generate valid codes indefinitely, a hijacked session token can be converted into durable account takeover that survives password changes but not TOTP secret rotation. The vendor has shipped a fix in 2.6.0; no public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Vikunja before 2.6.0 continues to expose the raw TOTP shared secret after enrollment through the GET /api/v1/user/settings/totp and /api/v1/user/settings/totp/qrcode endpoints without re-authentication. Attackers with a valid access token can read the secret, import it into their own authenticator, and generate valid codes indefinitely to defeat the second factor and enable account takeover.
