About Vikunja
Vikunja crossed the v1.0 finish line and pivoted hard into security hardening.
Vikunja shipped two v1.0 release candidates through late 2025 and early 2026, then jumped to a v2 series whose first widely-tagged point release, v2.2.1, is dominated by security work. The latest release patches multiple SSRF and IDOR vulnerabilities, enforces disabled/locked-account semantics across every auth surface (OIDC, API tokens, CalDAV, LDAP), and adds a shared SSRF-safe HTTP client that webhooks and migrations now route through. User-facing feature work has slowed; the visible energy is in plumbing and audit cleanup.
