Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Kimai versions before 2.58.0 are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery in the timesheet stop and restart API endpoints. An attacker can trick a logged-in user into visiting a malicious page, which can stop a running timesheet or create and start a new one from a historical entry. Upgrade to Kimai 2.58.0, which removes the GET routes so these actions are only available via PATCH.
