Kimai: Login CSRF in Kimai Timesheet Stop and Restart API Endpoints Allows Unauthorized State Changes

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 08.06.2026 Published: 15.09.2026 Updated: 15.09.2026

Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Prior to 2.58.0, TimesheetController exposes GET /api/timesheets/{id}/stop and GET /api/timesheets/{id}/restart, which reuse an authenticated browser session and perform state-changing operations through GET requests without a request-forgery defense. A remote attacker can cause a logged-in user to request either route from attacker-controlled content, stopping a running timesheet or restarting a historical entry to create and start a new timesheet without the user's consent. The unauthorized changes can corrupt time records, billing, reports, approvals, and audits. This issue is fixed in version 2.58.0.
