EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.0, an authenticated user with users.create permission can submit the admin permission while creating a user because store() in app/Http/Controllers/Users/UsersController.php strips superuser permission but does not strip admin permission. The created account can obtain administrative privileges. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.0.

  • WID-SEC-W-2026-1918Snipe-IT: Mehrere SchwachstellenDeutsch2026-06-14csaf · cert_bundDE

    Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Snipe-IT ausnutzen, um administrative Berechtigungen zu erlangen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen und Daten zu manipulieren.

  • GHSA-hf68-g98v-wp9gSnipe-IT Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing admin Permission Check in User Creation2026-06-23ghsa · osvUS

    ### Impact The `store()` method in both the web and API `UsersController` only strips the superuser permission when a non-superuser creates a user. It does not strip the admin permission. This allows any authenticated user with the `users.create` permission to create a new user with full admin privileges. The `users.create permission` may commonly be delegated to HR staff, department leads, or similar roles. ### Patches Patched in [aea3877718](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/aea3877718158cc2a10c2dde4597b1f439f5f6cb)
