SCA: security update for kimai/kimai (GHSA-pj8j-p4g4-4vw8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 444617

Description

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

 - Kimai is an open-source time tracking application. Versions prior to 2.58.0 contain a server-side request
 forgery vulnerability in their invoice PDF preview and generation workflow. If an attacker can control
 Markdown content that is later rendered into an invoice PDF, such as `Customer.invoiceText`, the server-
 side PDF renderer will fetch remote image URLs embedded in Markdown image syntax. This allows the
 application server to issue outbound requests to attacker-controlled or internal targets during PDF
 rendering. The behavior can be used for internal network probing, server-side reachability checks, and
 potentially follow-on exploitation depending on deployment environment and accessible internal services.
 Version 2.58.0 patches the issue. (CVE-2026-49865)

Solution

Update the kimai/kimai library and its related packages to version 2.58.0 or later.
