AI-Generated

An authentication bypass vulnerability in Kimai versions prior to 2.58.0 allows attackers to exploit valid password reset links, which remain usable even after a password change due to inadequate signature protection. This flaw enables unauthorized access to user accounts for up to two additional logins within a one-hour window, posing a significant risk to user data security. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate potential account compromise.

Original NVD Description

Kimai before 2.58.0 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where password reset links remain valid after password changes because the LoginLink signature covers only the user id, not the password hash. Attackers who intercept or cache a password reset link can use it up to 2 additional times within a 1-hour window to log in as the user even after the legitimate user has changed their password.
