CVE-2026-123511
Vikunja before 2.7.1 Resource Exhaustion via CalDAV VTODO RELATED-TO Entries
Description
Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows authenticated CalDAV clients to create unbounded dummy tasks by sending VTODOs with thousands of RELATED-TO properties. Attackers can repeat unknown related UIDs in a single PUT request to generate thousands of task, relation, and event rows, bloating the database and overloading the event pipeline.
