CVE-2026-33679 Details
Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to version 2.2.1, the `DownloadImage` function in `pkg/utils/avatar.go` uses a bare `http.Client{}` with no SSRF protection when downloading user avatar images from the OpenID Connect `picture` claim URL. An attacker who controls their OIDC profile picture URL can force the Vikunja server to make HTTP GET requests to arbitrary internal or cloud metadata endpoints. This bypasses the SSRF protections that are correctly applied to the webhook system. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja, an open-source task management platform, in versions prior to 2.2.1. The issue arises in the 'DownloadImage' function within 'pkg/utils/avatar.go', which uses a default 'http.Client' without any SSRF protection when downloading user avatar images from the OpenID Connect 'picture' claim URL. This vulnerability allows an attacker controlling their OIDC profile picture URL to manipulate the Vikunja server into making HTTP GET requests to arbitrary internal or cloud metadata endpoints, bypassing the SSRF protections that are properly implemented in the webhook system.
Users should update Vikunja to version 2.2.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. The update can be downloaded from the Vikunja downloads page or by pulling the latest Docker image.
