CVE-2026-35600: Vikunja has HTML Injection via Task Titles in Overdue Email Notifications

April 10, 2026

Task titles are embedded directly into Markdown link syntax in overdue email notifications without escaping Markdown special characters. When rendered by goldmark and sanitized by bluemonday (which allows <a> and <img> tags), injected Markdown constructs produce phishing links and tracking pixels in legitimate notification emails.
