CVE-2026-91983 Details
Description
Vikunja before 2.6.0 contains an API token scope bypass vulnerability in task read endpoints where authorization fails to inspect query string parameters.

A vulnerability exists in Vikunja versions 1.0.0 through 2.5.0, allowing API token scope bypass in task read endpoints.
