CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSnipe-IT versions 8.2.0 through 8.6.x are vulnerable to an authorization flaw that allows authenticated non-admin users with the users.edit permission to toggle the activated status of any user, including admin and superuser accounts. This could lead to the unintended deactivation of critical accounts, locking them out of the application until re-enabled by another admin. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to version 8.7.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Snipe-IT versions 8.2.0 through 8.6.x (fixed in 8.7.0) contain an incorrect authorization flaw in app/Http/Controllers/Users/UsersController::update(). The single-user edit route assigned the activated field from the request payload before evaluating the canEditAuthFields authorization gate, so an authenticated non-admin user holding the users.edit permission in the target's company scope can submit a full valid PUT request to /users/{id} and toggle the activated flag on any user, including admin and superuser accounts. Deactivating an admin locks that account out of the application until another admin or superuser re-enables it. Only the activated field is affected; username, email, password and permissions remain protected by the gate, no data is disclosed, and the API (Api\UsersController::update) and bulk-edit paths are not affected.
