Vikunja versions before 2.6.0 fail to apply rate limiting to /api/v2 public authentication endpoints including login, register, password-reset, and OAuth token routes. Remote unauthenticated attackers can perform unbounded credential guessing, account enumeration, and password-reset flooding attacks without throttling restrictions.

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
  • No authentication required
  • No user interaction needed — can be exploited automatically
Recommended mitigation

Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released.

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.
