CVE-2026-55515 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5 · Published 2026-07-10

Snipe-IT is an asset management system used to track IT equipment and manage checkout workflows. A vulnerability allows users with basic report-viewing permissions to delete pending checkout acceptance records belonging to other companies, bypassing the intended company-level access controls. This could allow attackers to suppress audit trails showing that users have not accepted custody of assets, disrupting asset handoff and compliance processes.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the report delete endpoint (CWE-639). The delete action in the unaccepted assets report verifies only that the user has `reports.view` permission, then deletes a CheckoutAcceptance record by its global ID without validating that the user's company can access the related asset. The root cause is missing scope validation: the code calls `$this->authorize('reports.view')` followed by `CheckoutAcceptance::pending()->find($acceptanceId)->delete()` without checking whether the current user can access the checkoutable asset's company. Attack requires network access and valid authentication credentials, plus knowledge of a pending acceptance ID (which are sequential/guessable). An authenticated user with only `reports.view` permission can delete acceptances across company boundaries, tamper with asset handoff workflows, and destroy evidence of pending acceptance status.
