AI-suggested
A fix is available in Snipe-IT version 8.7.0. Users should upgrade to version 8.7.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until the upgrade, restrict departments.edit permissions to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation.
Description
Snipe-IT versions 8.6.3 up to but not including 8.7.0 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the DepartmentPresenter::formattedNameLink() function. This flaw allows users with departments.edit permission to inject malicious scripts into department names, which then execute in the browsers of department members when they view their My Assets page. The vulnerability arises because department names are rendered unescaped for users without departments.view permission. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.1, indicating a medium severity issue.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows users with departments.edit permission to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of department members. This can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or other malicious activities within the context of the affected users' sessions. The impact is limited to users who have access to the My Assets page and belong to the affected departments.
