DescriptionCVE.org

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.0, UsersController::update() passes a missing permission request field through NormalizePermissionsPayloadAction and PreserveUnauthorizedPrivilegedPermissionsAction in a way that can overwrite a target user’s permissions with a sparse result, allowing an administrator updating another administrator, or a user with users.edit updating a regular account, to remove the target’s administrative or granular permissions. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.0.

AnalysisAI

Improper permission handling in Snipe-IT before 8.6.0 lets a privileged user strip another user's administrative or granular permissions when editing their account. Because UsersController::update() treats a missing permissions field as a sparse payload rather than a no-op, an administrator editing another administrator — or any user holding users.edit editing a regular account — can silently wipe the target's privileges. …
