CVE-2026-86764: Snipe-IT 8.6.4 before 8.7.0 Permission Bypass via assigned components

Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days

Weakness: CWE-862

Description

Snipe-IT through 8.6.4 (fixed in 8.7.0) does not enforce the components.view permission on the authenticated endpoint GET /api/v1/hardware/<asset-id>/assigned/components. The endpoint authorizes only assets.view on the parent asset before returning linked component details; the components.view check is applied only to the response's available_actions.view flag and not to the returned data. As a result, an authenticated user holding only assets.view can enumerate component IDs, names, assigned quantities, and notes that are otherwise protected — the direct GET /api/v1/components/<id> endpoint correctly returns 403 Forbidden for such users.
