Title
Kimai before 2.54.0 Username Enumeration via Timing Oracle
Summary
Kimai before 2.54.0 contains a timing oracle vulnerability in TokenAuthenticator that allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid usernames via X-AUTH-USER header. Attackers can measure response time differences when the password hasher runs only for existing users, enabling username enumeration with no login throttling protection.
