Duplicate Advisory: Vikunja: TOTP secret is readable after enrollment, no step-up auth
### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-88f6-4rjv-x774. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description Vikunja before 2.6.0 continues to expose the raw TOTP shared secret after enrollment through the GET /api/v1/user/settings/totp and /api/v1/user/settings/totp/qrcode endpoints without re-authentication. Attackers with a valid access token can read the secret, import it into their own authenticator, and generate valid codes indefinitely to defeat the second factor and enable account takeover.
