Snipe-IT has incorrect permission for legacy license checkin API
The advisory, in context
Impact
The legacy single-seat license checkin flow authorizes the action with the checkout permission instead of the checkin permission. Because of this, a user who is allowed to assign licenses but not unassign them can still directly access the old checkin endpoint and reclaim a license seat that is currently assigned to another user or asset.
Affected packages
Start with the recorded fix for your release branch. Check your installed version and test compatibility before upgrading. Fixing this advisory does not rule out other vulnerabilities in the release.
