Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Snipe-IT versions before 8.7.0 (Packagist snipe/snipe-it) let an attacker who knows a user's password bypass that account's two-factor authentication on the API side. The attacker can obtain a persistent API token with the user's full API access, including admin access if the victim is an admin, and can potentially clear the victim's enrolled 2FA. Upgrade to snipe/snipe-it 8.7.0, which adds API-side two-factor enrollment enforcement.
