Technical details

The vulnerability is a missing authorization check in the /api/v1/time/new and /api/v1/storage/ticket/:id/upload/single endpoints. Both endpoints accept a user ID from the request body without validating that the authenticated user has permission to act on behalf of another user. An attacker with valid credentials can POST requests with an arbitrary user ID to create time tracking records or upload files attributed to any other user.
