## What is CVE-2025-15602?

CVE-2025-15602 is a high-severity vulnerability in Snipeitapp Snipe-It, published on 6 Mar 2026. 

### Official description

Snipe-IT versions prior to 8.3.7 contain sensitive user attributes related to account privileges that are insufficiently protected against mass assignment. An authenticated, low-privileged user can craft a malicious API request to modify restricted fields of another user account, including the Super Admin account. By changing the email address of the Super Admin and triggering a password reset, an attacker can fully take over the Super Admin account, resulting in complete administrative control of the Snipe-IT instance.

Weakness: CWE-915 (Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes)

What it is: CVE-2025-15602 is a high-severity vulnerability in Snipeitapp Snipe-It, published on 6 Mar 2026. 
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-15602 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
