Until an official fix is available, restrict low-privilege user input in the category EULA text field and disable or limit the mail auto-embed functionality if possible to prevent automatic embedding of external or local resources.
Description
Snipe-IT versions before 8.7.0 fail to sanitize the category EULA text field before rendering it in checkout confirmation emails. Attackers with low-privilege permissions can inject markdown image syntax or raw HTML img tags pointing to local files or remote URLs, which the mail auto-embed library resolves server-side and returns as email attachments, exfiltrating sensitive files like .env credentials and enabling SSRF attacks.
Impact
An attacker with low-privilege access can exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to read and embed sensitive local files into outgoing emails, leading to potential disclosure of confidential information such as environment variables and credentials. Additionally, the vulnerability enables SSRF attacks, which may allow attackers to interact with internal systems or services not otherwise accessible.
