CVE-2026-49976Network attack vector

Non-admin account takeover via CSV import

Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Improper authorization in CSV user import in Snipe-IT before 8.6.1 allows remote authenticated users to take over non-admin accounts. In app/Importer/UserImporter.php, the canEditAuthFields gate unsets email and other auth fields on the model, but app/Importer/ItemImporter.php sanitizeItemForUpdating() rebuilds the update array from the raw CSV row and restores attacker-supplied values. Reachability requires an authenticated account with import permission and a non-admin, non-superuser target; the result is control of the victim account rather than administrator access by itself.
