### Summary The `ExportController` web routes for creating and editing export templates are gated only by the class-level `create_export` permission, which is granted to `ROLE_TEAMLEAD` by default. The corresponding API routes and UI button visibility correctly require the stricter `create_export_template` permission, which is granted only to `ROLE_ADMIN` and `ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN`. A TEAMLEAD user can directly access the template create/edit routes to create or modify global export templates that are visible to all users including administrators. ### Details The `ExportController` applies the class-level annotation `#[IsGranted('create_export')]`. The `createExportTemplate` (line 210) and `editExportTemplate` (line 220) methods have no method-level `#[IsGranted('create_export_template')]` annotation. The permission hierarchy in `config/packages/kimai.yaml:103,115,122-123` grants `create_export` to `ROLE_TEAMLEAD` via the `EXPORT` permission set, but `create_export_template` only to `ROLE_ADMIN` and `ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN`. The API controller correctly requires `create_export_template`. The UI template (`templates/export/index.html.twig:124`) correctly hides the create button behind `c

What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 2.58.0 for kimai/kimai. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database via OSV
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
