CVE-2026-84806Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthorized team access via view-only permission checks

Published Sep 2, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026

Improper authorization in Kimai before 2.63.0 allows remote authenticated users to grant teams access to restricted entities. The customer, project, and activity team-access POST endpoints require edit permission on the team but only view permission on the target entity before writing that entity into the team's access-control list. Exploitation requires team edit rights plus read-only target access and changes which team members can reach customer, project, or activity data.
