CVE-2026-55481: Snipe-IT has CSS Injection via `header_color` Setting

August 28, 2026

Because default.blade.php is the base layout loaded on every authenticated page, all active user sessions are affected immediately upon the next page load after the payload is saved. An attacker who has compromised an admin account (or who is a malicious insider) can use this to silently exfiltrate session tokens from all other users, including other administrators.

Additionally, the Content Security Policy is disabled by default in Snipe-IT installations, which removes the primary browser-level mitigation for this class of attack.
