CVE-2026-35602
CWE-770Published: April 10, 2026· Updated: Apr 14, 2026
Official Description
Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, the Vikunja file import endpoint uses the attacker-controlled Size field from the JSON metadata inside the import zip instead of the actual decompressed file content length for the file size enforcement check. By setting Size to 0 in the JSON while including large compressed file entries in the zip, an attacker bypasses the configured maximum file size limit. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-35602 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2026-35602. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
