Summary
Vikunja veans versions before 2.7.1 can leak credentials when run in an untrusted repository, because a malicious repository author can point the .veans.yml file at an attacker-controlled server. An attacker who lures a victim into running veans in such a checkout, remotely and without logging in, could capture the victim's API token, login password, or TOTP codes and gain access to the victim's Vikunja account.

Read the original description
Vikunja veans before 2.7.1 contains a credential exposure vulnerability that allows malicious repository authors to capture API tokens by specifying an attacker-controlled server in .veans.yml. When veans runs in an untrusted checkout, it sends VEANS_TOKEN as a Bearer token, or login passwords, TOTP codes and tokens, to that server, granting attackers the victim's Vikunja access.
