SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-v3p6-34mc-hj7v)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474071

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 version 2.3.0, a scoped API token
limited to the `oauth.authorize` permission can call `POST /api/v1/oauth/authorize`, obtain an OAuth
authorization code, and exchange the code at `POST /api/v1/oauth/token` for a normal bearer JSON Web Token
(JWT) and refresh token. The resulting credentials are not restricted by the original API token's
permissions, allowing access to routes outside its declared scope for the same user. Version 2.4.0 fixes
the vulnerability. (CVE-2026-57458)

Solution

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