CVE-2026-86741 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.5) affecting snipe-it. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
Snipe-IT versions before 8.7.0 fail to sanitize the category EULA text field before rendering it in checkout confirmation emails. Attackers with low-privilege permissions can inject markdown image syntax or raw HTML img tags pointing to local files or remote URLs, which the mail auto-embed library resolves server-side and returns as email attachments, exfiltrating sensitive files like .env credentials and enabling SSRF attacks.
Why this priority
- High severity
- Public exploit reference
A fixed release or distro patch exists.
