SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-r6w9-259g-gwrv)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474091

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. Versions prior to 2.4.0 store password-
 reset, email-confirmation, and account-deletion tokens in the `user_tokens` table in plaintext. If an
 attacker gains read access to the database through a backup leak, misconfigured storage, or SQL-level
 exposure, they can immediately use pending tokens to take over user accounts without knowing passwords.
 Version 2.4.0 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-62376)

Solution

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