CVE-2026-35599: Vikunja has Algorithmic Complexity DoS in Repeating Task Handler

April 10, 2026

The addRepeatIntervalToTime function uses an O(n) loop that advances a date by the task’s RepeatAfter duration until it exceeds the current time. By creating a repeating task with a 1-second interval and a due date far in the past, an attacker triggers billions of loop iterations, consuming CPU and holding a database connection for minutes per request.
