Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

AI-suggested

Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.7.0 or later where this authorization issue is fixed. Since the vulnerability is addressed in version 8.7.0, applying this official fix will remediate the issue. No additional mitigations are specified.

Description

CVE-2026-86757 is a high-severity vulnerability in Snipe-IT before version 8.7.0 where certain encrypted custom field values in asset form templates are accessible without proper authorization. Authenticated users with specific asset permissions can bypass intended permission checks and view plaintext encrypted data in listbox, textarea, markdown-textarea, and date/datetime picker elements.

Impact

Unauthorized disclosure of encrypted custom field values can occur to users who should not have access, potentially exposing sensitive information stored in asset management forms. This bypass affects users with certain asset-related permissions but lacking explicit permission to view encrypted custom fields, increasing the risk of data leakage within the organization.

Summary

Snipe-IT versions prior to 8.7.0 have a missing authorization control that allows authenticated users holding assets.edit, assets.checkin, assets.checkout, or assets.audit permissions to read plaintext values of encrypted custom fields in asset form templates. This occurs because the system fails to enforce the assets.view.encrypted_custom_fields permission when rendering these fields, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive encrypted data.
