CVE-2026-123493 Details
Description
Vikunja from 2.4.0 before 2.7.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows disabled or locked users to retain access through API tokens owned by their bot users. Because token validation only checks the bot's own status, attackers holding pre-minted bot tokens can keep reading and modifying shared projects via the HTTP API, CalDAV, MCP and feeds.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja versions 2.4.0 prior to 2.7.1. This vulnerability allows disabled or locked users to maintain access through API tokens associated with their bot users. The issue arises because token validation only considers the bot's individual status, not that of its owner. As a result, attackers with pre-minted bot tokens can continue to read and modify shared projects using the HTTP API, CalDAV, MCP, and feeds.
Users can update to Vikunja version 2.7.1, where this vulnerability has been patched.
