vikunja versions before 2.6.0 contain a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the task-filter endpoint that accepts deeply nested filter expressions without recursion depth limits. Authenticated attackers can supply thousands of nested parentheses in the filter query parameter to exhaust memory and terminate the API process.

Why it matters

Internet-facing
Not identified as a common internet-facing category
Exploitation likelihood
high
  • Remotely exploitable over the network — no physical or local access required
  • Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
  • Requires low-privilege access first
  • No user interaction needed — can be exploited automatically
Recommended mitigation

Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires.

This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.
