CVE-2026-55478 Details
Description
Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, POST /api/v1/kits/{kit_id}/licenses checks whether the caller can edit kits but does not authorize access to the referenced license object, allowing a low-privilege user with predefined-kit permissions to bind a license they should not be able to access or manage into a kit. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.
A vulnerability exists in Snipe-IT versions prior to 8.6.2, specifically within the kit license management feature. The issue arises in the API endpoint that allows licenses to be added to predefined kits. This endpoint fails to implement proper object-level authorization for the licenses being referenced. As a result, a low-privilege user with predefined-kit permissions can incorrectly bind a license they should not have access to or be able to manage into a kit.
Users can upgrade to Snipe-IT version 8.6.2 or later to address this vulnerability.
