SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-m547-hp4w-j6jx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439065

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Starting in version 0.8 and prior to
 version 2.2.0, unauthenticated users are able to bypass the application's built-in rate-limits by spoofing
 the `X-Forwarded-For` or `X-Real-IP` headers due to the rate-limit relying on the value of
 `(echo.Context).RealIP`. Unauthenticated users can abuse endpoints available to them for different
 potential impacts. The immediate concern would be brute-forcing usernames or specific accounts' passwords.
 This bypass allows unlimited requests against unauthenticated endpoints. Version 2.2.0 patches the issue.
 (CVE-2026-29794)

Solution

Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.2.0 or later.
