Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Vikunja versions 2.2.0 through 2.6.0 allow credentialed cross-origin requests from any localhost or 127.0.0.1 port, because the default CORS origins are kept even when service.publicurl is set. A page open on the user's own machine can call the token refresh endpoint and read the returned bearer token, giving access to the logged-in account. No fixed version is listed. Limit cors.origins to your own site, or avoid running untrusted local pages while logged in.
