SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-g9xj-752q-xh63)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439233

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. Prior to version 2.2.1, the
 `DownloadImage` function in `pkg/utils/avatar.go` uses a bare `http.Client{}` with no SSRF protection when
 downloading user avatar images from the OpenID Connect `picture` claim URL. An attacker who controls their
 OIDC profile picture URL can force the Vikunja server to make HTTP GET requests to arbitrary internal or
 cloud metadata endpoints. This bypasses the SSRF protections that are correctly applied to the webhook
 system. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-33679)

Solution

Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.2.1 or later.
