If you cannot patch yet, restrict write access to trusted project members only and monitor for suspicious project titles or task content that could contain malicious instructions.
Description
Vikunja veans versions before 2.7.1 have a prompt injection vulnerability that allows project members with write access to inject instructions via project titles or task content. These injected instructions are rendered verbatim inside the coding agent's authoritative instruction block, potentially causing the agent to modify developer checkouts or execute commands. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 3.7 and requires low privileges with user interaction.
