Overview

snipe/snipe-it is an asset management system built on Laravel.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity through improper handling of username collation during federated authentication processes. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to user accounts by registering identity provider accounts with case or accent variations of legitimate usernames, exploiting the default utf8mb4_unicode_ci database collation.
