Summary
Snipe-IT has Privilege Escalation via API Permissions Assignment
Details

Impact

An authenticated user with only users.edit permission can escalate their own privileges to admin by sending a PATCH request to /api/v1/users/{id} with permissions[admin]=1. The API controller only strips the superuser key from the permissions array, allowing admin and all other permission keys to be set by any user who can update users.

Patches

Patched in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/ce18ff669ceb0f0349749fd5d11c1d3d40b10569, fix was released in v8.4.1

Workarounds

None.
