CVE-2025-69288
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows any authenticated admin user in Titra time tracking software to execute arbitrary code on the server by manipulating timeEntryRule data that gets passed to NodeVM without proper sanitization. This affects all Titra installations prior to version 0.99.49 where admin users have access to modify time entry rules.
💻 Affected Systems
- Titra
📦 What is this software?
Titra by Kromit
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attacker to execute arbitrary commands, access sensitive data, install malware, or pivot to other systems in the network.
Likely Case
Privileged admin user (malicious or compromised) gains remote code execution on the Titra server, potentially accessing all time tracking data and system resources.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation, least privilege access, and monitoring are in place to contain potential exploitation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires admin credentials but the vulnerability itself is straightforward - modifying timeEntryRule data to inject malicious code.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 0.99.49
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/kromitgmbh/titra/security/advisories/GHSA-pqgx-6wg3-gmvr
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your Titra database and configuration. 2. Stop the Titra service. 3. Update to version 0.99.49 using your package manager or by downloading from GitHub releases. 4. Restart the Titra service. 5. Verify the update was successful.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Admin Access
allTemporarily limit or disable admin user accounts until patching can be completed.
Network Segmentation
allIsolate Titra server from critical systems and implement strict firewall rules.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls and monitor all admin user activities
- Deploy application-level firewall or WAF with RCE protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Titra version - if it's below 0.99.49, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check package.json version or Titra web interface about pageVerify Fix Applied:
After updating, verify version is 0.99.49 or higher and test that timeEntryRule modifications no longer execute arbitrary code.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual admin user activity
- Suspicious timeEntryRule modifications
- NodeVM execution errors
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected outbound connections from Titra server
- Suspicious process execution patterns
