high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474045

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. In versions 1.0.0 through 2.3.0, when an
 administrator enables the per-provider `emailfallback` option on an OpenID Connect provider, Vikunja links
 an SSO login to a pre-existing local (username+password) account using only the `email` claim from the
 IdP. The fallback never checks an `email_verified` (or Microsoft `xms_edov`) signal and never requires the
 matched account's password. An attacker who can obtain a token from the configured issuer carrying a
 victim's email logs in as that victim with a full session, with no consent or interaction from the victim.
 Version 2.4.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-62367)

Solution

Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.4.0 or later.
