CVE-2026-55519Network attack vector

Authenticated file deletion via object-level auth bypass

Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Improper authorization in Grokability Snipe-IT before 8.4.1 allows remote authenticated users to delete asset attachments. In app/Http/Controllers/Api/UploadedFilesController.php and app/Http/Controllers/UploadedFilesController.php, destroy() authorizes update on the object class selected by object_type instead of the resolved $object instance, so instance-level ownership and company-assignment checks are skipped. Exploitation requires a valid account with generic asset edit permission, and the demonstrated consequence is unauthorized attachment deletion rather than file read or code execution.
