Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-11 12:31 – Updated: 2025-09-11 12:31The Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'tt_update_table_function' and 'tt_delete_record_function' functions in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update options such as user registration and default role, allowing anyone to register as an Administrator, and to delete limited data from the database.

GHSA-J5MC-P8QG-39J7
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-02 20:44 – Updated: 2026-07-02 20:44Summary
Kimai 2.56.0 contains an authenticated improper authorization / IDOR vulnerability in the favorite timesheet add and remove endpoints. A low-privileged user who knows another user's timesheet.id can add that record to, or remove it from, the victim's favorite/recent bookmark list. This allows cross-user manipulation of per-user favorite state without administrative privileges.
Details
The issue affects the following routes:
GET /en/favorite/timesheet/add/{id}GET /en/favorite/timesheet/remove/{id}
Both endpoints accept a user-controlled timesheet identifier and only require the caller to hold the generic start_own_timesheet permission. They do not verify that the referenced Timesheet object belongs to the currently authenticated user.
- In
src/Controller/FavoriteController.php, the controller methods accept aTimesheetobject directly and forward it to the favorite service. - The root cause becomes more obvious in
src/Timesheet/FavoriteRecordService.php. The bookmark owner is derived from$timesheet->getUser()instead of the current session user. - Because of this design, any authenticated user who can reference another user's timesheet ID can modify the victim's
favorite/recentbookmark data.
A PoC was provided, but removed for security reasons.
Impact
This vulnerability allows any authenticated low-privileged user to manipulate another user's favorite bookmark state across accounts. An attacker can inject arbitrary victim-owned timesheet entries into the victim's quick-entry workflow, remove existing favorites, and repeatedly disturb the victim's normal timesheet usage without needing administrative privileges.
The issue does not directly disclose sensitive data, but it is a real cross-user business-state tampering vulnerability with clear integrity impact. Because the add and remove endpoints can be combined, an attacker can reliably insert, remove, and reorder entries in another user's favorite/recent list.

}
Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
