CVE-2026-52823
Kimai: Login CSRF in the Timesheet Stop and Restart API Endpoints Allows Unauthorized State Changes
描述
### Summary Kimai 2.56.0 contains authenticated cross-site request forgery issues in its timesheet state-changing API endpoints. The application reuses the browser's existing session for `/api/*` requests, and both the `stop` and `restart` operations are exposed through `GET` and `PATCH` routes that directly modify business state. As a result, an attacker can trick a logged-in user into visiting a malicious page and cause unauthorized timesheet actions without the victim's consent. Depending on the endpoint, this can stop a running timesheet or create and start a new one from historical data. ### Details The issue affects at least the following API routes: - `GET /api/timesheets/{id}/stop` - `GET /api/timesheets/{id}/restart` Both routes are non-read-only operations but are still exposed as `GET`. In `src/API/TimesheetController.php`. *A PoC was provided, but removed for security reasons.* ### Impact This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger unauthorized business-state changes as a logged-in victim. In the validated `stop` case, a running timesheet can be stopped, affecting time tracking integrity and potentially availability of ongoing work tracking. In the `restart` case, a historical timesheet can be restarted and a new record can be created without the victim's knowledge. These actions can corrupt time records, distort billing and reporting, interfere with approvals or audits, and create persistent database-side side effects. Because exploitation requires only that the victim visit a malicious page while authenticated, the attack barrier is low. # Solution The `GET` routes were removed, both `stop` and `restart` are only available via `PATCH`.
