AnalysisAIv1 – 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.

DescriptionCVE.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.

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.
