Summary

Snipe-IT versions <= 8.6.3 (fixed in 8.7.0) do not check the return value of storage write operations in ImageUploadRequest::handleImages(). When a storage write silently fails, the application still deletes the previous image and persists a reference to a new filename that was never written. A mirror problem exists in deleteExistingImage(), where a failed Storage::delete() still nulls the image field, orphaning the file on disk. The condition is not directly attacker-controlled — it occurs when an authenticated user submits an image while the storage backend transiently fails (e.g., S3 network error, filesystem permission issue, quota exhaustion). The result is unrecoverable loss of the prior image and a durable database-disk inconsistency. All models routed through ImageUploadRequest::handleImages are affected (assets, asset models, users, companies, manufacturers, locations, categories, suppliers, departments, and others).

Risk Assessment

The organization may irreversibly lose images and experience durable data inconsistency requiring manual reconciliation. The risk is moderate because it requires a transient storage failure, but the effects are hard to reverse.

Recommendation

Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.7.0 or later. Monitor storage backend health (S3, filesystem, quotas) and regularly verify image reference consistency in the database.

Original NVD description (English source)

Snipe-IT versions <= 8.6.3 (fixed in 8.7.0) do not check the return value of storage write operations in ImageUploadRequest::handleImages(). Because Laravel's default disk mode does not throw on failure, a silently failed Storage::disk('public')->put(...) call still caused the application to delete the previous image via deleteExistingImage() and to reassign and persist the model's image reference to the new filename, destroying the existing image and leaving the database row pointing at a file that was never written. A mirror problem existed in deleteExistingImage(), where a failed Storage::delete() still nulled the model's image field, orphaning the file on disk. The condition is not directly attacker-controlled: it is triggered when any legitimate authenticated user submits an image upload while the storage backend transiently fails (for example an S3 network error, a local filesystem permission problem, or quota exhaustion). The result is unrecoverable loss of the prior image and a durable inconsistency between the database and disk that requires manual reconciliation. All models whose controllers route through ImageUploadRequest::handleImages (assets, asset models, users, companies, manufacturers, locations, categories, suppliers, departments, and other image-carrying models) are affected.
