AI-suggested

Upgrade Vikunja to version 2.7.1 or later, where this issue is fixed. Applying the official fix eliminates the insecure default permissions on dump archives. No additional mitigation is required once the upgrade is applied.

Description

Vikunja versions before 2.7.1 have a vulnerability where dump archives created by the vikunja dump command have insecure default file permissions. This allows local users on a shared host to read these world-readable zip files, potentially exposing sensitive data such as configuration files, password hashes, TOTP secrets, tokens, and stored files.
