This month

HIGH 8.8UPGRADE

CVE-2022-23064 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.8) affecting snipe-it. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

In Snipe-IT, versions v3.0-alpha to v5.3.7 are vulnerable to Host Header Injection. By sending a specially crafted host header in the reset password request, it is possible to send password reset links to users which once clicked lead to an attacker controlled server and thus leading to password reset token leak. This leads to account take over.

snipeitapp snipe-it UPGRADE

Affected: >= 3.0.0 and <= 5.3.7 · 3.0.0 alpha1 · 3.0.0 alpha2 · 3.0.0 beta1 · 3.0.0 beta2 · 3.0.0 beta3

Fixed in: newer than 5.3.7

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy snipe-it || rpm -q snipe-it || snipe-it --version

2. UPGRADE to newer than 5.3.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade snipe-it

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade snipe-it

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison snipe-it sudo apt install snipe-it=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold snipe-it

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list snipe-it sudo dnf downgrade snipe-it-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add snipe-it

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
