Vulnerability in snipe/snipe-it (CVE-2026-55694)
Summary
Vulnerability in snipe/snipe-it (CVE-2026-55694). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via GET /stored-eula-file/{filename}. Mitigation: upgrade to 8.6.3 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
An attacker can completely bypass file-name randomization security and without authorization download confidential, signed EULA files belonging to any other user across the application.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Log in as a restricted user.
- Send a GET request to /api/v1/users/{target_id}/eulas (where target_id belongs to a restricted/denied user).
- Observe the response leaks the secret EULA filename (e.g., eula-xxx.pdf).
- Attempt to access this file via the main route: GET /stored-eula-file/{filename} (This will correctly return 403 Forbidden).
- Now, access the file via the vulnerable profile route: GET /account/stored-eula-file/{filename}.
- Observe that the server returns a 200 OK and successfully downloads the target user's secret EULA file.

A vulnerability (CWE-639) exists in snipe/snipe-it. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via GET /stored-eula-file/{filename}.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of snipe/snipe-it. Attack surface: GET /stored-eula-file/{filename} / GET /account/stored-eula-file/{filename}..
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 8.6.3.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual GET /stored-eula-file/{filename} requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'snipe/snipe-it' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'snipe/snipe-it' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
snipe/snipe-itを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
grep 'GET /stored-eula-file/{filename}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'アクセスログで
GET /stored-eula-file/{filename}への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。 -
3Apply patch patch
Upgrade snipe/snipe-it to 8.6.3ステージング環境で 8.6.3 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Replay attack against GET /stored-eula-file/{filename} on staging to confirm patch closes the vectorパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
