This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with kimai. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total kimai CVEs: 13
Earliest CVE date: 23 Aug 2019, 13:15 UTC
Latest CVE date: 11 Feb 2026, 15:16 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2019-25317
30-day Count (Rolling): 1
365-day Count (Rolling): 3
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0.0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 50.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 50.0%
Average CVSS: 2.38
Max CVSS: 6.8
Critical CVEs (≥9): 0

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for kimai, sorted by severity first and recency.
Kimai 2 contains a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into timesheet descriptions. Attackers can insert SVG-based XSS payloads in the description field to execute arbitrary JavaScript when the page is loaded and viewed by other users.
Kimai is a web-based multi-user time-tracking application. Prior to version 2.46.0, Kimai's export functionality uses a Twig sandbox with an overly permissive security policy (`DefaultPolicy`) that allows arbitrary method calls on objects available in the template context. An authenticated user with export permissions can deploy a malicious Twig template that extracts sensitive information including environment variables, all user password hashes, serialized session tokens, and CSRF tokens. Version 2.46.0 patches this issue.
Kimai 1.30.10 contains a SameSite cookie vulnerability that allows attackers to steal user session cookies through malicious exploitation. Attackers can trick victims into executing a crafted PHP script that captures and writes session cookie information to a file, enabling potential session hijacking.
A vulnerability was found in Kimai up to 2.15.0 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Session Handler. The manipulation of the argument PHPSESSIONID leads to information disclosure. The attack may be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. Upgrading to version 2.16.0 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. VDB-263318 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
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.
Kimai is a web-based multi-user time-tracking application. Versions prior to 2.1.0 are vulnerable to a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) which can be escalated to Remote Code Execution (RCE). The vulnerability arises when a malicious user uploads a specially crafted Twig file, exploiting the software's PDF and HTML rendering functionalities. Version 2.1.0 enables security measures for custom Twig templates.
Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in kevinpapst kimai2 1.30.0 in /src/Twig/Runtime/MarkdownExtension.php, allows attackers to gain escalated privileges.
CSV Injection (aka Excel Macro Injection or Formula Injection) exists in creating new timesheet in Kimai. By filling the Description field with malicious payload, it will be mistreated while exporting to a CSV file.
