SCA: security update for kimai/kimai (GHSA-h5fh-7hwr-97mw)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441602

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. From version 2.32.0 to before version 2.56.0, users
 with the role System-Admin (ROLE_SYSTE_ADMIN) and the permission upload_invoice_template can upload PDF
 invoice templates, which can call pdfContext.setOption('associated_files', ...) inside the sandboxed Twig
 render. This is forwarded to mPDF's SetAssociatedFiles(), whose writer calls
 file_get_contents($entry['path']) during PDF output and embeds the bytes as a FlateDecode stream in the
 PDF. Any file readable by the PHP worker is returned to the attacker inside the rendered invoice. This
 issue has been patched in version 2.56.0. (CVE-2026-44298)

Solution

Update the kimai/kimai library and its related packages to version 2.56 or later.
