GHSA-WG2F-X2C2-C4RP
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-28 17:57 – Updated: 2026-08-28 17:57Impact
The user edit flow stores url()->previous() into Laravel's intended URL session value and later redirects with redirect()->intended(...) when redirect_option=back is submitted. Because the previous URL is derived from the attacker-controlled Referer header, an authenticated user performing a normal user-edit action can be redirected to an external attacker-controlled site.
An attacker who can cause a logged-in user with permission to edit a user record to open the edit page with an attacker-controlled Referer value.
The application can be used as a trusted redirector after a legitimate user edit action. This can support phishing or trust-boundary attacks against Snipe-IT users and matches a historical open redirect class where session-stored navigation context influences redirect destinations.
