Technical details

BulkComponentCreateView in NetBox fails to properly validate parent object permissions, allowing authenticated users with add-component permission to bypass view restrictions on parent devices and VMs. An attacker can submit arbitrary device or VM IDs, or use wildcard filters, to access out-of-scope device information and create components on unauthorized objects. The vulnerability requires authentication and add-component permission.
