SCA: security update for code.vikunja.io/api (GHSA-r4fg-73rc-hhh7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440159

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 2.3.0, the
 addRepeatIntervalToTime function uses an O(n) loop that advances a date by the task's RepeatAfter duration
 until it exceeds the current time. By creating a repeating task with a 1-second interval and a due date
 far in the past, an attacker triggers billions of loop iterations, consuming CPU and holding a database
 connection for minutes per request. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0. (CVE-2026-35599)

Solution

Update the code.vikunja.io/api library and its related packages to version 2.3.0 or later.
