CVE-2026-116199: Snipe-IT authentication bypass in Google SSO callback

CVE-2026-116199 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-10-25

Snipe-IT is an asset management system used to track company equipment and resources. An attacker can sign in as a deactivated user if that user still has an active Google account and their Snipe-IT username matches their email address. This allows unauthorized access to company data and administrative functions at the permission level the user had before being deactivated.

Technical details

The GoogleAuthController::handleGoogleCallback function looks up users by email but fails to check the activated flag before logging them in, unlike all other authentication methods in the application (SAML, LDAP, REMOTE_USER, local password). A deactivated user with a matching email-shaped username and an active Google identity can bypass authentication and regain their original session permissions. The fix adds an activated flag check before calling Auth::login.
