SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-7c2g-p23p-4jg3)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439234

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 `GET
/api/v1/projects/:project/webhooks` endpoint returns webhook BasicAuth credentials (`basic_auth_user` and
`basic_auth_password`) in plaintext to any user with read access to the project. While the existing code
correctly masks the HMAC `secret` field, the BasicAuth fields added in a later migration were not given
the same treatment. This allows read-only collaborators to steal credentials intended for authenticating
against external webhook receivers. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-33677)

Solution

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