Machine-written summary

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

Snipe-IT versions before 8.6.0 (Packagist snipe/snipe-it) have an improper privilege management issue in the user update handling. When an admin updates another admin's account without including the permission field, the target's admin flag and granular permissions are wiped, and a user with the users.edit permission can similarly clear permissions on regular accounts. An attacker needs an admin or users.edit account to exploit this. Upgrade to version 8.6.0 or later.
