Kimai Missing Authorization in Project Export

Publication date: 2026-08-26

Last updated on: 2026-08-26

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
Kimai before 2.64.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the ProjectViewController export route (report_project_view_export). The authorization guards are attached to the sibling __invoke method rather than at the class level, so the export route inherits no authorization checks. Any authenticated user, including a plain ROLE_USER without the project_reporting permission, can download the project overview export - which returns the same dataset as the protected report - disclosing customer names, project names, currency, budget type, and aggregate totals across all customers. Actual financial figures remain protected in the export template.

Executive Summary

Kimai before 2.64.0 has a missing authorization vulnerability in the ProjectViewController export route. The export route lacks proper authorization checks, allowing any authenticated user to download project overview exports. This exposes customer names, project names, currency, budget type, and aggregate totals across all customers.

Detection Guidance

Check if unauthenticated users can access the report_project_view_export endpoint by attempting to download a project overview export with a low-privilege account. Verify if sensitive data like customer names, project names, or budget details are exposed.

Impact Analysis

Unauthorized users can access sensitive project and customer data, including financial aggregates. This could lead to data leaks, reputational damage, or misuse of exposed information. The vulnerability affects all authenticated users, even those without specific permissions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized access to personal and financial data. GDPR requires strict access controls for personal data, while HIPAA mandates protection of sensitive health information. Non-compliance could result in legal penalties and fines.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Kimai to version 2.64.0 or later to patch the missing authorization vulnerability. Ensure all users have the minimum required permissions and review access controls for project reporting features.
