Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which users can exploit this issue?

An authenticated user with the view_other_timesheet permission can exploit the affected REST API timesheet collection endpoint. The issue allows that user to list timesheets associated with activities restricted to teams they do not belong to.

2

What information could be exposed?

The impact is limited to unauthorized disclosure of timesheet data through the API collection endpoint. The provided data does not indicate modification or availability impact.

3

Which deployments are affected?

Kimai versions before 2.65.0 are affected. Exposure depends on having users with view_other_timesheet permission and activity-team restrictions intended to isolate timesheet visibility.

4

How can I determine whether this is relevant in my environment?

Check whether your Kimai version is earlier than 2.65.0, then identify users granted view_other_timesheet permission. Review whether those users can query the REST API timesheet collection and whether activities are restricted to teams the users do not belong to.
