Summary
Kimai is a web-based multi-user time-tracking application. Prior to version 2.51.0, "GET /api/invoices/{id}" only checks the role-based view_invoice permission but does not verify the requesting user has access to the invoice's customer. Any user with ROLE_TEAMLEAD (which grants view_invoice) can read all invoices in the system, including those belonging to customers assigned to other teams. This issue has been patched in version 2.51.0.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
