Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Snipe-IT (Packagist package snipe/snipe-it) versions before 8.4.1 are affected. An authenticated user who holds only the users.edit permission can send a request to the users API that sets the admin permission on their own account, because the API strips only the superuser key from the submitted permissions. This gives them admin privileges. Upgrade to version 8.4.1, which contains the fix; the source lists no workaround.
