This vulnerability stems from insufficient permission checks in the \u003ccode\u003eapp/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php\u003c/code\u003e component. Specifically, the API endpoint \u003ccode\u003e/api/v1/{object_type}/{id}/files\u003c/code\u003e allows users with \u0026ldquo;view\u0026rdquo; permissions, rather than the necessary \u0026ldquo;write\u0026rdquo; permissions, to upload files. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution on the server. The vulnerability was patched after the 2026-03-10 commit 676a9958 and released in version 8.4.1. This poses a significant risk to organizations using vulnerable Snipe-IT instances, potentially allowing attackers to compromise the entire system.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker identifies a vulnerable Snipe-IT instance running a version prior to 8.4.1.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker authenticates to the Snipe-IT instance with user credentials that have \u0026ldquo;view\u0026rdquo; permissions for assets, consumables, or other managed objects.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious HTTP POST request to the \u003ccode\u003e/api/v1/{object_type}/{id}/files\u003c/code\u003e endpoint, replacing \u003ccode\u003e{object_type}\u003c/code\u003e and \u003ccode\u003e{id}\u003c/code\u003e with valid values for an existing asset or consumable.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe POST request includes a file containing malicious code, such as a PHP webshell, disguised as a seemingly harmless file type (e.g., image).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Snipe-IT application, due to insufficient permission checks, accepts the file upload and stores it on the server.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker determines the full path to the uploaded file on the server.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a new HTTP request to execute the uploaded file, triggering the malicious code.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker achieves remote code execution on the Snipe-IT server, potentially gaining full control of the system and sensitive data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-37709 can lead to complete compromise of the Snipe-IT server.
