CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Kimai time tracking application prior to version 2.57.0 is vulnerable to unauthorized project attribution due to improper validation of user-controlled project identifiers in its API. This allows any authenticated user with edit permissions to associate their timesheets with projects outside their designated teams, potentially exposing sensitive project and customer data. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to 2.57.0 to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data access.

Original NVD Description
Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Prior to 2.57.0, PATCH /api/timesheets/{id} and POST /api/timesheets accept a user-controlled project identifier through TimesheetApiEditForm and FormTrait, and ProjectRepository::getQueryBuilderForFormType() places that identifier in an unconditional OR branch that bypasses the team access criteria. Any authenticated user with edit_own_timesheet can therefore assign an owned timesheet to a project outside the user's teams, persist unauthorized project attribution, and retrieve project and customer metadata through GET /api/timesheets/{id}?full=true. TimesheetTeamAccessValidator now checks changed project and activity associations against current team access. This issue is fixed in version 2.57.0.
