      "value": "Vikunja is an open-source self-hosted task management platform. Prior to 2.3.0, the TOTP failed-attempt lockout mechanism is non-functional due to a database transaction handling bug. When a TOTP validation fails, the login handler in pkg/routes/api/v1/login.go calls HandleFailedTOTPAuth and then unconditionally rolls back. HandleFailedTOTPAuth in pkg/user/totp.go uses an in-memory counter (key-value store) to track failed attempts. When the counter reaches 10, it calls user.SetStatus(s, StatusAccountLocked) on the same database session s. Because the login handler always rolls back after a TOTP failure, the StatusAccountLocked write is undone. The in-memory counter correctly increments past 10, so the lockout code executes on every subsequent attempt, but the database write is rolled back every time. This allows unlimited brute-force attempts against TOTP codes. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.0."

      "value": "Vikunja es una plataforma de gestión de tareas de código abierto y autoalojada. Antes de la versión 2.3.0, el mecanismo de bloqueo por intentos fallidos de TOTP no funciona debido a un error en el manejo de transacciones de la base de datos. Cuando falla una validación de TOTP, el gestor de inicio de sesión en pkg/routes/api/v1/login.go llama a HandleFailedTOTPAuth y luego revierte incondicionalmente. HandleFailedTOTPAuth en pkg/user/totp.go utiliza un contador en memoria (almacén clave-valor) para rastrear los intentos fallidos. Cuando el contador alcanza 10, llama a user.SetStatus(s, StatusAccountLocked) en la misma sesión de base de datos s. Debido a que el gestor de inicio de sesión siempre revierte después de un fallo de TOTP, la escritura de StatusAccountLocked se deshace. El contador en memoria se incrementa correctamente más allá de 10, por lo que el código de bloqueo se ejecuta en cada intento posterior, pero la escritura en la base de datos se revierte cada vez. Esto permite intentos ilimitados de fuerza bruta contra códigos TOTP. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la versión 2.3.0."
