CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Kimai time tracking application prior to version 2.58.0 is vulnerable due to improper access control in the API endpoints for managing team members and activities, allowing team leads to manipulate users and activities beyond their authorized scope. This can lead to unauthorized access and potential data integrity issues within team-based workflows and reporting. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to 2.58.0 to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Prior to 2.58.0, POST /api/teams/{id}/members/{userId} and POST /api/teams/{id}/activities/{activityId} verify that a teamlead may edit the Team but do not verify access_user for the referenced User or view access for the referenced Activity. A teamlead can add users or activities outside the teamlead's manageable scope to an editable team, bypassing the narrower choices enforced by TeamEditForm and UserRepository::getQueryBuilderForFormType(). The resulting relationships can be trusted by RolePermissionManager::checkTeamAccessActivity() and other team-based authorization, visibility, reporting, and workflow logic. This issue is fixed in version 2.58.0.
