Authenticated command execution via unchecked backup extraction
Published Nov 5, 2025 · Updated Nov 5, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in Snipe-IT before 8.3.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through backup restoration. RestoreFromBackup.php extracts archive directory entries into public/uploads without applying its extension allowlist to their contents. An administrator can restore a crafted backup containing a PHP web shell, then invoke it over HTTP with the application server process privileges.
