Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Vikunja (code.vikunja.io/api) versions 2.5.0 up to but not including 2.6.0 are affected. A low-privilege user who submits a Planka migration pointing at an attacker-controlled server can make the server serve many large attachments, which Vikunja keeps in memory until the migration finishes, exhausting memory and crashing the API. Upgrade to 2.6.0 or later. The source gives no workaround.
