Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Kimai is a web-based multi-user time-tracking application. The permission `view_other_timesheet` performs differently for the Kimai UI and the API, thus returning unexpected data through the API. When setting the `view_other_timesheet` permission to true, on the frontend, users can only see timesheet entries for teams they are a part of. When requesting all timesheets from the API, however, all timesheet entries are returned, regardless of whether the user shares team permissions or not. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.13.0 or later
Fixed in 2.13.0
Recommended fix High confidence

2.13.0

  1. Back up the current Kimai installation and database before upgrading
  2. Download Kimai version 2.13.0 from the official GitHub repository or release page
  3. Follow the standard Kimai upgrade procedure documented at https://kimai.org/documentation/upgrade.html
  4. After upgrading, verify the fix by testing the API with a user that has the `view_other_timesheet` permission and confirming they only see timesheet entries for their teams, matching the UI behavior
  5. Clear any caches if applicable (e.g., php bin/console cache:clear)
