CVE-2024-48987: Snipe-IT remote code execution

October 11, 2024 (updated March 25, 2025)

Snipe-IT before 7.0.10 allows remote code execution (associated with cookie serialization) when an attacker knows the APP_KEY. This is exacerbated by .env files, available from the product’s repository, that have default APP_KEY values.
