CVE-2026-52819Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Timesheet disclosure via missing target-user authorization

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Kimai before 2.57.0 allows remote authenticated users to read other users' timesheet records via its API. TimesheetController::cgetAction() adds user and users[] targets to the query without applying access_user or checking that the requester leads a target user's team. A caller needs view_other_timesheet, granted by default to ROLE_TEAMLEAD, and can obtain activity, timing, tag, rate, and internal-rate data.
