CVE-2026-91968: Vikunja: Unbounded nested task-filter recursion permits API process termination

October 9, 2026

Authenticated task-list routes accept a filter expression without a length or nesting-depth bound, preprocess it, parse it recursively through fexpr, and recursively convert the resulting expression tree. A syntactically valid deeply nested expression well below the HTTP request-size ceiling exhausts memory and kills the API process.
