Insecure Permissions vulnerability in grokability snipe-it v.8.4.0 and before and fixed after 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the app/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php component

Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.8%, percentile 56: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 56% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
snipe/snipe-it(Composer (PHP)) < 8.4.1, fixed in 8.4.1. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
What it is
Insecure Permissions vulnerability in grokability snipe-it v.8.4.0 and before and fixed after 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the app/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php component
From the GitHub advisory
Insecure Permissions vulnerability in grokability snipe-it versions through 8.4.0, fixed after 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958, allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the app/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php component
