CVE-2026-55703: CWE-862: Missing Authorization in grokability snipe-it
CVE-2026-55703 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Snipe-IT IT asset/license management system prior to version 8.6.3. Any activated user account can access maintenance records for assets within the same company without requiring specific asset or maintenance permissions. The vulnerability arises because the controller rendering the maintenance record does not perform authorization checks, relying only on company-scoped route-model binding to restrict cross-company access. Disclosed information includes asset tags, suppliers, purchase costs, notes, and dates. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Snipe-IT versions before 8.6.3 contain a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the MaintenancesController.php show() method. While the route-model binding restricts access to maintenance records to the same company, it does not enforce permission checks on the requesting user. As a result, any activated account within a company can read maintenance records for assets without having explicit asset or maintenance permissions. The exposed data includes sensitive asset details such as tags, suppliers, purchase costs, notes, and dates. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (medium severity) and does not impact integrity or availability. The issue is resolved in Snipe-IT version 8.6.3.
Potential Impact
An attacker with any activated account in a company can read maintenance records for assets within that company without proper authorization. This leads to unauthorized disclosure of asset-related information such as asset tags, suppliers, purchase costs, notes, and maintenance dates. There is no impact on data integrity or system availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.6.3 or later, where this missing authorization issue is fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is documented. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 8.6.3.
