CVE-2026-33316 Details
Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.0, a flaw in Vikunja’s password reset logic allows disabled users to regain access to their accounts. The `ResetPassword()` function sets the user’s status to `StatusActive` after a successful password reset without verifying whether the account was previously disabled. By requesting a reset token through `/api/v1/user/password/token` and completing the reset via `/api/v1/user/password/reset`, a disabled user can reactivate their account and bypass administrator-imposed account disablement. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue.
A vulnerability in Vikunja's password reset process prior to version 2.2.0 enables disabled users to reactivate their accounts. The issue arises because the 'ResetPassword()' function automatically changes the user's status to 'Active' after a password reset, without checking if the account was previously disabled by an administrator. This flaw allows disabled users to bypass account restrictions and regain access. The vulnerability is present in Vikunja versions through 2.1.0.
Users can update to Vikunja version 2.2.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
