CVE-2026-86774: Improper Access Control in grokability snipe-it
Snipe-IT versions before 8.7.0 have an improper access control vulnerability in the AssetModelPolicy. This flaw allows authenticated users with assets.files permission to upload and delete file attachments on Asset Model records without needing the models.files permission. This enables unauthorized mutation of shared model file attachments across company boundaries, bypassing intended permission restrictions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-86774 describes a broken access control vulnerability in Snipe-IT's AssetModelPolicy affecting versions prior to 8.7.0. The files() method inherits permissions from assets.files instead of models.files, allowing users with only assets.files permission to manage file attachments on Asset Model records. This bypasses the dedicated models.files permission designed to restrict file management on the shared Asset Model catalog, potentially leading to unauthorized modification of shared files.
Potential Impact
Authenticated users with assets.files permission can upload and delete file attachments on Asset Model records without having the required models.files permission. This could lead to unauthorized modification of shared model file attachments across company boundaries, violating access control policies and potentially impacting data integrity and confidentiality within the asset management system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict assets.files permissions to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized file modifications on Asset Model records.
