## What is CVE-2026-80194?

CVE-2026-80194 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in kimai, published on 25 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Kimai before 2.64.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the ProjectViewController export route (report_project_view_export). The authorization guards are attached to the sibling __invoke method rather than at the class level, so the export route inherits no authorization checks. Any authenticated user, including a plain ROLE_USER without the project_reporting permission, can download the project overview export - which returns the same dataset as the protected report - disclosing customer names, project names, currency, budget type, and aggregate totals across all customers. Actual financial figures remain protected in the export template.

Weakness: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor)

Affected product: kimai. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
