Duplicate Advisory: Vikunja: Unbounded CSV row cardinality permits API process termination
### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-pqf9-h8g4-8gmh. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description vikunja versions before 2.6.0 contain a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the POST /api/v2/migration/csv/migrate endpoint that fails to limit parsed row cardinality. Authenticated attackers can upload multipart CSV files with millions of tiny records to exhaust process memory and terminate the API service.
