Kimai is a web-based multi-user time-tracking application. Prior to version 2.51.0, "GET /api/invoices/{id}" only checks the role-based view_invoice permission but does not verify the requesting user has access to the invoice's customer. Any user with ROLE_TEAMLEAD (which grants view_invoice) can read all invoices in the system, including those belonging to customers assigned to other teams. This issue has been patched in version 2.51.0.

- GHSA-v33r-r6h2-8wr7Kimai's API invoice endpoint missing customer-level access control (IDOR)2026-03-04ghsa · osvUS
## Summary `GET /api/invoices/{id}` only checks the role-based `view_invoice` permission but does not verify the requesting user has `access` to the invoice's customer. Any user with `ROLE_TEAMLEAD` (which grants `view_invoice`) can read all invoices in the system, including those belonging to customers assigned to other teams. ## Affected Code `src/API/InvoiceController.php` line 92-101: ```php #[IsGranted('view_invoice')] // Role check only, no customer access check #[Route(methods: ['GET'], path: '/{id}', name: 'get_invoice', requirements: ['id' => '\d+'])] public function getAction(Invoice $invoice): Response { $view = new View($invoice, 200); $view->getContext()->setGroups(self::GROUPS_ENTITY); return $this->viewHandler->handle($view); // Returns ANY invoice by ID } ``` The web controller (`src/Controller/InvoiceController.php` line 304-307) correctly checks customer access: ```php #[IsGranted('view_invoice')] #[IsGranted(new Expression("is_granted('access', subject.getCustomer())"), 'invoice')] public function downloadAction(Invoice $invoice, ...): Response { ... } ``` The `access` attribute in `CustomerVoter` (line 71-87) verifies team membership, but this check is entirely missing from the API endpoint. ## PoC Tested against Kimai v2.50.0 (Docker: `kimai/kimai2:apache`). Setup: - TeamA with CustomerA ("SecretCorp"), TeamB with CustomerB ("BobCorp") - Bob is a teamlead in TeamB only - An invoice exists for SecretCorp (TeamA) ```bash # Bob (TeamB) reads SecretCorp (TeamA) invoice curl -H "Authorization: Bearer BOB_TOKEN" http://localhost:8888/api/invoices/1 ``` Response (200 OK): ```json { "invoiceNumber": "INV-2026-001", "total": 15000.0, "currency": "USD", "customer": {"name": "SecretCorp", ...} } ``` Bob can also enumerate all invoices via `GET /api/invoices` — the list endpoint uses `setCurrentUser()` in the query but the single-item endpoint bypasses this entirely via Symfony ParamConverter. ## Impact Any teamlead can read all invoices across the system regardless of team assignment. Invoice data typically contains sensitive financial information (amounts, customer details, payment terms). In multi-team deployments this breaks the intended data isolation between teams. ## Suggested Fix Add the customer access check to the API endpoint, matching the web controller: ```diff #[IsGranted('view_invoice')] +#[IsGranted(new Expression("is_granted('access', subject.getCustomer())"), 'invoice')] #[Route(methods: ['GET'], path: '/{id}', name: 'get_invoice')] public function getAction(Invoice $invoice): Response ```
