CVE-2024-48987Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via serialized XSRF-TOKEN cookies

Published Oct 11, 2024 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

Remote code execution in Snipe-IT before 7.0.10 allows remote attackers who know the APP_KEY to run commands via a crafted XSRF-TOKEN cookie. AuthServiceProvider enables Passport cookie serialization, causing attacker-controlled data decrypted by Illuminate Encryption to reach PHP unserialize. Exploitation requires the instance's APP_KEY, but repository-distributed default keys can satisfy that gate and grant command execution as the web service account.
