Grokability Snipe-IT, Incorrect Authorization, CVE-2025-XXXX (Moderate)

How the CVE Works

The vulnerability (CVE-2025-XXXX) in Grokability Snipe-IT before version 8.1.0 arises from improper authorization checks when accessing asset information. Attackers can exploit this flaw by sending crafted requests to endpoints that handle asset data, bypassing intended access controls. This allows unauthorized users to retrieve sensitive asset details, modify configurations, or perform actions restricted to privileged roles. The issue stems from missing role-validation logic in API endpoints, enabling horizontal or vertical privilege escalation.

What Undercode Say:

Exploitation:

1. Craft malicious API requests to `/api/v1/assets/

   ` without proper role validation.</li>
   <li>Use session hijacking or CSRF to escalate privileges.</li>
   </ol>
   
   <h2 style="color: blue;">3. Example Exploit (cURL):</h2>

   Mitigation:

   1. Upgrade to Snipe-IT 8.1.0 or later.

   2. Implement middleware for role validation:

   if (!auth()->user()->hasRole('admin')) { abort(403); }
   

   3. Patch endpoints with strict permission checks.

   Detection:

   1. Log analysis for unusual asset-access patterns.

   2. Monitor API traffic for unauthorized `/assets/` requests.

   Additional Commands:

   • Check version:

     grep "APP_VERSION" .env
     

   • Temporary workaround (nginx):
