Superuser account takeover via stored CSS injection
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026
CSS injection in Grokability Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to exfiltrate superuser CSRF tokens. Custom CSS sanitization reverses encoding for greater-than and double-quote characters, allowing stored @import and url() attribute-selector rules to read token values. Superuser access is required to plant the payload, and another superuser must load an affected page before account takeover becomes possible.
