Summary

Snipe-IT vulnerable to stored XSS via Markdown custom field

Details

Impact

CommonMark is configured with html_input => 'escape', which blocks raw HTML injection. However, javascript: URIs in Markdown hyperlinks are not sanitized. A user with assets.edit permission can inject a malicious link into any markdown-textarea custom field. Any user who opens the asset detail page and clicks the link executes arbitrary JavaScript in their browser session.

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-10 18:40 – Updated: 2026-07-13 15:00

Title

Snipe-IT: Stored XSS via Markdown custom field

Summary

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, CommonMark escapes raw HTML but does not sanitize javascript: URIs in Markdown hyperlinks, allowing a user with assets.edit permission to place a malicious link in a markdown-textarea custom field that executes arbitrary JavaScript when another user opens the asset detail page and clicks the link. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.

Severity
