CVE-2026-86763 is a low-severity flaw (CVSS 3.5) affecting snipe-it. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Snipe-IT versions >= 7.0.12 and <= 8.6.3 contain an authorization bypass in the Livewire importer component (App\Livewire\Importer, mounted at the imports.index route). The component only checked the broad 'import' ability at mount time, while its files() and activeFile() computed properties queried the imports table with no owner or company scope. As a result, any authenticated non-superuser holding the import permission could view every Import

snipeitapp snipe-it UPGRADE

Affected: >= 7.0.12 and < 8.7.0

Fixed in: 8.7.0

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.0.12

1. Check installed version

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

2. UPGRADE to 8.7.0 (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 7.0.12 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison snipe-it sudo apt install snipe-it=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.0.12> 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_7.0.12> 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.
