CVE-2026-55482: CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in grokability snipe-it
CVE-2026-55482 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Snipe-IT, an IT asset/license management system. Versions prior to 8.4.1 allow a non-superadmin user to manipulate the company_id parameter in the BulkAssetsController update() function. This bypasses the intended multi-tenant isolation by enabling assets to be moved across company boundaries. The issue is fixed in version 8.4.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Snipe-IT versions before 8.4.1 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in the BulkAssetsController's update() method. A non-superadmin user can submit a company_id parameter directly without validation via Company::getIdForCurrentUser(), allowing unauthorized asset transfers between companies and breaking multi-tenant isolation. This flaw compromises the integrity of tenant separation in multi-tenant deployments. The vulnerability is addressed in version 8.4.1.
Potential Impact
This vulnerability allows users with limited privileges to move assets across company boundaries, violating multi-tenant isolation. This can lead to unauthorized access or modification of assets belonging to other companies, potentially causing data integrity and confidentiality issues within the affected Snipe-IT deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.4.1 or later where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fix is documented. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the issue is fixed in 8.4.1.
