AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict access to note fields to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to markdown image syntax usage. Avoid using markdown image syntax in untrusted input fields. Follow vendor updates closely for an official fix or temporary mitigation.

Description

Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 fails to properly sanitize markdown image syntax in note fields, allowing authenticated users to read arbitrary server files and issue server-side HTTP requests. Attackers can submit markdown image syntax in checkout acceptance notes that survive HTML escaping, are expanded by CommonMark parser, and resolved by laravel-mail-auto-embed via file_get_contents or curl, exfiltrating sensitive files like .env containing APP_KEY.

Impact

An attacker with authentication privileges can read arbitrary files on the server and perform server-side HTTP requests. This can lead to exposure of sensitive configuration files, including .env files that contain critical secrets such as the APP_KEY. The vulnerability has a high severity score (CVSS 8.4), indicating a serious risk to confidentiality and partial impact on integrity and availability.
