How to Fix CVE-2026-48492

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Snipe/snipe it dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

snipe/snipe-it fixed: 8.5.1 
Upgrade snipe/snipe-it to 8.5.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for snipe/snipe-it

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-48492, inspect your project dependencies for Snipe/snipe it:

inspect dependencies for snipe/snipe-it

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Snipe/snipe it in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.5.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Snipe/snipe it, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact The GET /api/v1/{object}/selectlist API endpoint is missing an authorization check. Any user who can log into Snipe-IT - regardless of permissions - can retrieve a paginated list of all user accounts using only their web session cookie. No API token or elevated permissions are required. This exposes usernames, display names, employee numbers, and user IDs for every active account in the system if FMCS is not enabled, and within the company they belong to if FMCS is enabled. ### What an attacker can do with a valid login and zero permissions: - Enumerate all active user accounts by paginating through the endpoint - Harvest usernames for credential stuffing or password spray attacks - Collect employee numbers and full names for social engineering - Perform indirect email enumeration via the search parameter - Map user IDs for use in further enumeration against other endpoints This vulnerability is exploitable only by users who have a working login to the Snipe-IT system. ### Patches https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/4f943d4a7ab8e53f3d9e32770602d1118bab005f
