CVE-2026-123514 Details
Description
Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an improper resource cleanup vulnerability that leaves full-data export archives orphaned on disk after re-exports, failed exports, or account deletion. Authenticated users can repeatedly re-trigger exports containing all their attachments to exhaust disk storage, while deleted users' personal data remains retained indefinitely.
An improper resource cleanup vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja versions prior to 2.7.1. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to exhaust disk storage by repeatedly triggering full-data exports that include all attachments. The issue arises because orphaned export archives are left on disk after re-exports, failed exports, or account deletions. Additionally, personal data of deleted users is retained indefinitely, further contributing to unnecessary disk usage.
Users can upgrade to Vikunja version 2.7.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
