Mass assignment privilege escalation in Snipe-IT before 8.3.7

IdentifiersCVE-2025-15602CWE-915· Improperly Controlled Modification…

CVE-2025-15602 is a mass assignment vulnerability in Snipe-IT affecting versions prior to 8.3.7. Sensitive user-account attributes related to account privileges are insufficiently protected from client-controlled assignment through the API. An authenticated low-privileged user can craft a malicious API request to modify restricted fields on another user account, including the Super Admin account. The described attack path includes changing the Super Admin account's email address and then initiating a password reset, which allows the attacker to assume control of that account and obtain full administrative access to the Snipe-IT instance.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to escalate privileges to full administrative control of the Snipe-IT instance. Because the attacker can alter restricted fields on other user accounts, including the Super Admin account, they can take over the highest-privileged account and gain complete administrative capabilities over the application.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the affected API endpoints to only trusted administrators, minimize the number of low-privileged accounts, and closely monitor for unauthorized changes to user-account attributes, especially email-address changes and privilege-related fields on administrative accounts. Review password-reset activity for privileged accounts and apply compensating controls around account management workflows until the upgrade can be completed.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.3.7 or later. The vulnerable behavior stems from insufficient protection of sensitive user attributes against mass assignment, so remediation should ensure that privileged or restricted account fields cannot be modified through user-controlled API parameters except through explicitly authorized server-side logic.

CVE-2025-15602-PoCMaturityOperationalVerified exploit

Small Python PoC repository for CVE-2025-15602 targeting Snipe-IT. The repo contains two executable scripts and a README: list_users.py performs authenticated user enumeration by logging in, retrieving a CSRF token from /login, and scraping sequential /users/{id}/edit pages to extract username, first_name, last_name, and email fields. exploit_auth.py performs the actual account-takeover step by authenticating as a low-privileged user, then sending a PUT request to /api/v1/users/{target_id} with JSON fields matching the victim admin's username and first_name while replacing the email with an attacker-controlled address. The intended outcome is password-reset based takeover of a superadmin account. The exploit is not framework-based, uses Python requests plus BeautifulSoup, and requires manual BASE_URL modification and prior knowledge of the target admin details, typically gathered with the enumeration script.
