Real-World Exposure
snipe/snipe-itReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
An attacker can completely bypass file-name randomization security and without authorization download confidential, signed EULA files belonging to any other user across the application.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Log in as a restricted user.
- Send a GET request to /api/v1/users/{target_id}/eulas (where target_id belongs to a restricted/denied user).
- Observe the response leaks the secret EULA filename (e.g., eula-xxx.pdf).
- Attempt to access this file via the main route: GET /stored-eula-file/{filename} (This will correctly return 403 Forbidden).
- Now, access the file via the vulnerable profile route: GET /account/stored-eula-file/{filename}.
- Observe that the server returns a 200 OK and successfully downloads the target user's secret EULA file.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for snipe/snipe-it, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update snipe/snipe-it to 8.6.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-55694 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
