Description

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, POST /api/v1/kits/{kit_id}/licenses checks whether the caller can edit kits but does not authorize access to the referenced license object, allowing a low-privilege user with predefined-kit permissions to bind a license they should not be able to access or manage into a kit. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.
