AI-suggested
A fixed version exists starting from Vikunja 2.7.1. Users should upgrade to version 2.7.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. No vendor advisory or patch links were provided, but the version boundary indicates an official fix. Until upgrading, users should consider implementing additional CSRF protections or restricting access to the affected endpoints if possible.
Description
Vikunja versions from 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.7.1 have a vulnerability where the /api/v2 login and OIDC callback endpoints accept form-encoded bodies without CSRF or Origin checks. This flaw enables login cross-site request forgery (CSRF), allowing an attacker with an account to trick a victim into switching to the attacker's account by posting the attacker's credentials or OIDC code. This can expose data that the victim subsequently adds while logged into the attacker's account.
