Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 streams the SQL entry from an uploaded backup archive directly into the MySQL/MariaDB command-line client (mysql) without the --binary-mode flag, so the client interprets lines beginning with backslash commands such as \! as local shell commands. An authenticated superadministrator who uploads a crafted ZIP backup (POST /admin/backups/upload) and triggers a restore (POST /admin/backups/restore/{filename}) without the optional clean sanitizer parameter - which is not applied by default because DB_SANITIZE_BY_DEFAULT is false - can execute arbitrary OS commands as the web application's operating-system user, exposing application secrets (including database credentials and APP_KEY) and allowing modification of application-writable files and data. Version 8.7.0 adds the --binary-mode flag to the client invocation.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 allows authenticated superadministrators to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server by uploading a crafted backup archive and triggering a restore. The vulnerability stems from Snipe-IT piping SQL backup content directly into the MySQL/MariaDB command-line client without the --binary-mode flag, causing the client to interpret backslash escape sequences (e.g., \!) as local shell commands rather than SQL. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Snipe-IT superadministrator account - the highest privilege tier, distinct from lower-level admin roles. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity exploit requiring high privilege (PR:H, superadministrator). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade Snipe-IT to version 8.7.0, which adds the --binary-mode flag to the mysql client invocation during backup restore operations, preventing backslash escape sequence interpretation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
