CVE-2026-63493Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated account takeover via ungated API tokens

Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 24, 2026

Authentication bypass in Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to obtain persistent API access without 2FA. CheckForTwoFactor protects the web middleware group but not the API group, letting a password-authenticated session mint a personal access token before completing its second-factor challenge. Exploitation requires a 2FA-enabled account with self.api permission and its password; an administrator token can reset 2FA and enable web-account takeover.
