Machine-written summary

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

Vikunja versions from 1.0.0 before 2.4.0 are affected when the per-provider OIDC emailfallback option is enabled. An unauthenticated attacker who can get the configured identity provider to issue a token with a victim's email address can log in as a local account holder without the password and gain a full session, though TOTP-enabled users are protected. Upgrade to Vikunja 2.4.0 or later. The source gives no workaround besides disabling emailfallback, which is the default.
