Description
Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, an authenticated user with import and assets.update permissions can place a path traversal string in an asset image field through CSV import and then trigger image deletion, allowing deletion of arbitrary files accessible to the server process. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.

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 8.6.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xr9m-gphc-9p63 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.
