CVE-2026-55461: Snipe-IT: Open Redirect After User Edit

Published Jul 10, 2026
·
Updated

Impact The user edit flow stores url()->previous() into Laravel's intended URL session value and later redirects with redirect()->intended(...) when redirectoption=back is submitted. Because the previous URL is derived from the attacker-controlled Referer header, an authenticated user performing a normal user-edit action can be redirected to an external attacker-controlled site.

An attacker who can cause a logged-in user with permission to edit a user record to open the edit page with an attacker-controlled Referer value.

The application can be used as a trusted redirector after a legitimate user edit action. This can support phishing or trust-boundary attacks against Snipe-IT users and matches a historical open redirect class where session-stored navigation context influences redirect destinations.

Other sources

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, the user edit flow stores url()->previous() from the attacker-controlled Referer header into Laravel’s intended URL session value and later uses redirect()->intended(...) when redirectoption=back is submitted, allowing Snipe-IT to be used as a trusted redirector after a legitimate user edit action. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.
