# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-55462

Advisory: Snipe-IT has an authorization bypass on print inventory page
IDs: CVE-2026-55462, GHSA-fc33-6w3q-538h
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-55462 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:50 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: snipe/snipe-it 8.6.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist snipe/snipe-it: affected <= 8.6.0; fixed in 8.6.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist snipe/snipe-it: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on snipe/snipe-it.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fc33-6w3q-538h (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-fc33-6w3q-538h lists affected ranges: Packagist snipe/snipe-it >=0 <=8.6.0)
