CVE-2026-55482 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-08-19

Snipe-IT, an open-source IT asset management system, contains a flaw that allows users to bypass multi-tenancy restrictions. In environments where multiple companies share the same system, a regular user can move assets between different companies. This could lead to unauthorized access to asset records and disruption of inventory management across different business units or clients.

## Technical details

An authorization bypass (CWE-639) exists in the BulkAssetsController::update() method of Snipe-IT. The vulnerability stems from the application accepting a 'company_id' directly from user input without validating it against the standard company-scoping function 'Company::getIdForCurrentUser()'. An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit this to reassign assets to different companies, breaking the isolation intended in multi-tenant deployments. The issue is addressed in version 8.4.2 by ensuring proper company-scoping checks are applied during bulk updates.
