Summary

Snipe-IT has an open redirect vulnerability

Details

Open redirect vulnerability in Snipe-IT allows attackers to redirect users to malicious sites via unvalidated HTTP Referer header stored in session variable.

Impact

Phishing: Redirect users to fake login pages to steal credentials
Session Hijacking: Redirect to attacker site that captures session cookies via JavaScript
Malware Distribution: Redirect to sites hosting malware or drive-by downloads
Reputation Damage: Users lose trust when redirected to malicious sites from legitimate application
Social Engineering: Use trusted Snipe-IT domain to increase phishing success rate

When the user clicks "Save", the application: 1. Processes the form 2. Checks redirect_option (if set to 'back') 3. Calls Helper::getRedirectOption() 4. Retrieves back_url from session: https://evil.com/phishing?target=snipeit 5. Executes redirect()->to($backUrl) 6. User is redirected to attacker's site

This would still require session poisoning, so the actual practical threat here is minimal.

Patches

Patched in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/e37649212861a337e68a624e589c3540b7a82373, released in 8.4.1.

Workarounds

None.

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
