CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSnipe-IT versions up to 8.6.3 are vulnerable due to improper handling of formula elements in the CSV export of unaccepted assets, allowing low-privilege authenticated users to inject malicious formulas into free-text fields. This vulnerability can lead to data exfiltration or command execution when the exported CSV is opened in spreadsheet applications like Excel or Google Sheets. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to version 8.7.0 to mitigate potential security risks.

Original NVD Description
Snipe-IT through 8.6.3 does not neutralize formula elements in the "unaccepted assets" acceptance report CSV export. ReportsController::postAssetAcceptanceReport builds the CSV by hand (stripping commas and joining rows manually) and, unlike the six sibling exports in the same controller, never applies League\Csv\EscapeFormula or honors the config('app.escape_formulas') setting. An authenticated low-privilege user with ordinary create/edit rights on any record whose free-text fields appear in the report (asset name/tag, company name, category, model, or assignee display name) can set such a field to a value beginning with =, +, -, @, tab, or CR. When a user with reports.view privileges requests the export (POST /reports/unaccepted_assets) for a pending checkout acceptance referencing the poisoned record and opens the resulting CSV in Excel, LibreOffice Calc, or Google Sheets, the injected content is evaluated as a formula in the downloader's spreadsheet context, enabling data exfiltration (e.g., HYPERLINK/WEBSERVICE) or, on legacy Windows Excel configurations, DDE command execution. Fixed in 8.7.0.
