CVE-2026-55483: Snipeitapp Snipe-It

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.0, an authenticated user with users.create permission can submit the admin permission while creating a user because store() in app/Http/Controllers/Users/UsersController.php strips superuser permission but does not strip admin permission. The created account can obtain administrative privileges. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.0.

Affected products

• Snipeitapp Snipe-It: before 8.6.0 (fixed in 8.6.0)
