Description
Insecure Permissions vulnerability in grokability snipe-it versions through 8.4.0, fixed after 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958, allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the `app/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php` component ### Impact Users who can view assets, consumables, etc were able to send a POST request to `/api/v1/{object_type}/{id}/files`. The API authorized with "view" instead of write permission and persists the file and audit log entry. ### Patches Fixed after 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958, fix released to 8.4.1. ### Workarounds None.
