Snipe-IT Vulnerable to Unauthorized Asset Request Cancellation via Unguarded cancel_by_admin Parameter
Quick fix
GHSA-53jc-27pc-x8r8 — snipe/snipe-it: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
composer require snipe/snipe-it:^8.6.0Details
### Impact The route POST `/account/request/{itemType}/{itemId}/{cancel_by_admin?}/{requestingUser?}` accepts `cancel_by_admin` as a plain URL path segment with no authorization check. Any authenticated user regardless of permissions can set this parameter to a truthy value and supply a victim's user ID to silently cancel that user's pending asset requests. The attacker only needs an active session; no elevated privilege is required.
