SCA: security update for leantime/leantime (GHSA-54mm-6729-r5wp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474706

Description

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

 - Leantime is an open source project management system. Prior to 3.10.0, for the provisionally grouped
 account-creation and plugin-management surfaces, Leantime's JSON-RPC dispatcher in
 app/Domain/Api/Controllers/Jsonrpc.php exposes public API service methods, while
 PermissionEnforcer::enforce allows methods that lack a RequiresPermission attribute. A low-privilege
 authenticated user with an ordinary browser session can send the required X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
 header and call leantime.rpc.api.api.createApiKeyWithProjects, which reaches
 Api::createApiKeyWithProjects, with an attacker-chosen role to create an interactive administrator
 account. The same missing per-method authorization exposes Plugins::installPlugin, Plugins::enablePlugin,
 Plugins::disablePlugin, and Plugins::removePlugin to ordinary authenticated users, permitting unauthorized
 plugin management. The complete provisionally grouped issue is fixed in version 3.10.0. (CVE-2026-85990)

Solution

Update the leantime/leantime library and its related packages to version 3.10.0 or later.
