Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. In versions prior to 8.6.0, a user with only users.edit can send a PATCH to /api/v1/users/{theirownid} and grant themselves any permission except admin and superuser — for example assets.view, assets.create, reports.view, import, etc. The issue is patched in version 8.6.0.
