Summary

Snipe-IT has missing object-level authorization in Kits API

Details

Impact

The API endpoint for adding a license to a predefined kit (POST /api/v1/kits/{kit_id}/licenses) only checks whether the caller can edit kits, but does not perform object-level authorization on the referenced license itself. Because of this, a low-privilege user with only predefined-kit permissions can still bind a license that they should not be allowed to access or manage into a kit.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)

CVE-2026-55478 (GCVE-0-2026-55478)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-10 18:34 – Updated: 2026-07-10 20:58

Title

Snipe-IT: Missing object-level authorization in Kits API

Summary

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, POST /api/v1/kits/{kit_id}/licenses checks whether the caller can edit kits but does not authorize access to the referenced license object, allowing a low-privilege user with predefined-kit permissions to bind a license they should not be able to access or manage into a kit. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
