Summary
A vulnerability in Snipe-IT prior to version 8.6.2 allows an authorized user to move a maintenance record to an asset outside their company scope. This occurs because PATCH or PUT requests to /api/v1/maintenances/{maintenance_id} do not re-authorize the newly supplied asset_id.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves unauthorized access to IT assets of other companies, potentially leading to data integrity breaches and security policy violations.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.6.2 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Snipe-IT
See all- CVE-2026-61807Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.2 has a stored XSS vulnerability in manufacturer or supplier names. A crafted name can execute JavaScript when an authenticated user views the detail page, potentially exposing data or actions available to that session.
- CVE-2026-55703Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.3 allows any activated account to read maintenance records for assets in the same company without asset or maintenance permission. The show() method lacks authorization, disclosing asset tags, suppliers, purchase costs, notes, and dates.
- CVE-2026-55694High
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.3 has a vulnerability that allows a restricted user to obtain another user's randomized EULA filename and download the signed file. The /stored-eula-file/{filename} and /account/stored-eula-file/{filename} routes do not consistently enforce ownership and target-user authorization.
- CVE-2026-55643High
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.3 has a vulnerability that allows a company-scoped user in FMCS floater mode to access users whose company_id is null. Broad API queries and bulk web actions do not consistently apply isCurrentUserHasAccess, which can expose personal data and assigned licenses, and allow modification of profiles and soft-deletion of users.
- CVE-2026-55519Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.4.1 allows an authenticated user with generic asset edit permission to delete files attached to assets outside their ownership or company. The destroy() methods authorize against the object class instead of the instance, creating an insecure direct object reference.
- CVE-2026-55483Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.0 allows an authenticated user with users.create permission to assign admin permission when creating a user. The store() method strips superuser but not admin permission, allowing the created account to gain administrative privileges.
- CVE-2026-55482Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.4.1 allows a non-superadmin to submit company_id directly in the update() method of BulkAssetsController, bypassing Company::getIdForCurrentUser(). This allows assets to be moved across company boundaries, breaking multi-tenant isolation.
- CVE-2026-50550Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.5.0 allows a user who can edit other users to reset a superadmin's two-factor authentication. The postTwoFactorReset() endpoint authorizes update access but does not enforce canEditAuthFields before clearing two_factor_secret and two_factor_enrolled.
- CVE-2026-49976Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.1 allows a user with import permission to overwrite a non-admin user's email via CSV update mode and then request a password reset to take over the account. UserImporter strips unauthorized fields, but ItemImporter restores them from the raw CSV row, and the import path does not require users.edit.
- CVE-2026-49870Medium
Snipe-IT prior to 8.6.1 has a vulnerability in POST /two-factor with no rate limiting, lockout, or attempt counter, allowing unlimited TOTP guesses. It also allows disabling 2FA without OTP reverification in certain modes.
Original NVD description (English source)
Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, PATCH or PUT /api/v1/maintenances/{maintenance_id} checks access to the current maintenance record and asset but then fills attacker-controlled fields including asset_id without re-authorizing the newly supplied asset, allowing an authorized user to move a maintenance record onto an asset outside their company scope. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.
