CVE-2026-91973 Details
Description
Vikunja before 2.6.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in CalDAV BasicAuth endpoints that lack rate limiting protection. Remote unauthenticated attackers can issue unbounded credential-guessing requests against /dav, /.well-known, and /feeds routes to bypass the instance's anti-brute-force controls and compromise password-only accounts.
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in Vikunja versions prior to 2.6.0. This vulnerability exists in CalDAV BasicAuth endpoints that do not have rate limiting. Remote unauthenticated attackers can send unlimited credential-guessing requests to the '/dav', '/.well-known', and '/feeds' routes. This bypasses the application's anti-brute-force measures, allowing attackers to compromise accounts that rely solely on passwords.
Users are advised to update Vikunja to version 2.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
