{"id":"CVE-2026-55483","aliases":["GHSA-hf68-g98v-wp9g"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55483","summary":"Snipe-IT: Privilege Escalation via Missing admin Permission Check in User Creation","details":"### Impact\nThe `store()` method in both the web and API `UsersController` only strips the superuser permission when a non-superuser creates a user. It does not strip the admin permission. This allows any authenticated user with the `users.create` permission to create a new user with full admin privileges.\n\nThe `users.create permission`  may commonly be delegated to HR staff, department leads, or similar roles.\n\n### Patches\nPatched in [aea3877718](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/aea3877718158cc2a10c2dde4597b1f439f5f6cb)","published":"2026-08-19T18:17:11.372Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:58.621799543Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00303,"percentile":0.22934,"asOf":"2026-09-12"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","name":"snipe/snipe-it","fixedVersion":"8.6.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/aea3877718158cc2a10c2dde4597b1f439f5f6cb","label":"grokability/snipe-it@aea3877"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/releases/tag/v8.6.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/55xxx/CVE-2026-55483.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/security/advisories/GHSA-hf68-g98v-wp9g"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-55483"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/aea3877718158cc2a10c2dde4597b1f439f5f6cb"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:30:58.621799543Z"}}
