CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Kimai time tracking application is vulnerable to unauthorized time record creation due to insufficient validation of user access rights after project or activity permissions have been revoked. This flaw allows users to exploit historical timesheets to generate new entries, potentially compromising budgets, statistics, reports, and invoices. Organizations using Kimai versions prior to 2.58.0 should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Prior to 2.58.0, PATCH /api/timesheets/{id}/restart, PATCH /api/timesheets/{id}/duplicate, and the web duplicate workflow can derive a new record from an owned historical timesheet after the user's access to its project or activity has been revoked. TimesheetVoter evaluates the own-timesheet permission before current team access, and its canStart() logic validates object visibility but does not verify the user's current team access to the referenced project and activity. An old entry therefore acts as a persistent capability to create new time records under an unauthorized project and activity, corrupting budgets, statistics, reports, and invoices after an administrative revocation. This issue is fixed in version 2.58.0.
