Snipe-IT has Privilege Escalation via API Permissions Assignment

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.
