Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Vikunja (Go module code.vikunja.io/api) versions 2.5.0 up to but not including 2.6.0 are affected. The v2 CSV migration route reads all parsed rows into memory and builds a task object per row, so a multipart CSV with millions of tiny rows, within the upload size limit, can exhaust API process memory. An authenticated user can crash the API process, causing denial of service for all users. Upgrade to version 2.6.0 or later.
