CVE-2026-55479

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, the legacy single-seat license checkin flow authorizes the action with the checkout permission instead of the checkin permission, allowing a user who can assign licenses but not unassign them to directly access the old checkin endpoint and reclaim a license seat assigned to another user or asset. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.

Summary		(es) Snipe-IT es un sistema de gestión de activos de TI y licencias. Antes de la versión 8.6.2, el flujo de registro de entrada (check-in) de licencias de asiento único heredado autoriza la acción con el permiso de registro de salida (checkout) en lugar del permiso de registro de entrada (checkin), permitiendo a un usuario que puede asignar licencias pero no desasignarlas acceder directamente al antiguo punto final (endpoint) de registro de entrada y reclamar un asiento de licencia asignado a otro usuario o activo. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 8.6.2.
