CVE-2026-49992 Details
Description
Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Versions prior to 2.58.0 contain authenticated cross-site request forgery issues in their default team creation shortcuts for projects, customers, and activities. These endpoints are exposed through `GET` routes and directly create or reuse a `Team`, add the current user as teamlead, and bind the target object to that team. As a result, an attacker can trick a logged-in user with the required permissions into visiting a malicious page and cause unauthorized changes to team, teamlead, and object-binding relationships. This is a real authorization-structure modification issue rather than a harmless UI shortcut. Version 2.58.0 patches the issue.
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Kimai, an open-source time tracking application, affecting versions through 2.57.0. The issue arises in the default team creation shortcuts for projects, customers, and activities, which are accessible via 'GET' routes. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate team relationships and permissions without the user's consent. The affected routes unintentionally modify authorization structures, leading to unauthorized changes in team management and access control.
Users are advised to update Kimai to version 2.58.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. The affected 'GET' endpoints have been removed and replaced with 'POST' endpoints that cannot be exploited through CSRF attacks.
