CVE-2026-91982 Details
Description
Vikunja before 2.6.0 continues to expose the raw TOTP shared secret after enrollment through the GET /api/v1/user/settings/totp and /api/v1/user/settings/totp/qrcode endpoints without re-authentication. Attackers with a valid access token can read the secret, import it into their own authenticator, and generate valid codes indefinitely to defeat the second factor and enable account takeover.
A vulnerability in Vikunja versions prior to 2.6.0 allows the raw TOTP shared secret to be exposed after enrollment, through the GET /api/v1/user/settings/totp and /api/v1/user/settings/totp/qrcode endpoints, without requiring re-authentication. This issue enables attackers with a valid access token to read the secret, import it into their own authenticator app, and generate valid codes indefinitely, bypassing the second factor of authentication and facilitating account takeover.
Users should update to Vikunja version 2.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
