Summary
Vikunja from 2.4.0 before 2.7.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows disabled or locked users to retain access through API tokens owned by their bot users. Because token validation only checks the bot's own status, attackers holding pre-minted bot tokens can keep reading and modifying shared projects via the HTTP API, CalDAV, MCP and feeds.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
The maintainers of go-vikunja/vikunja published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
