CVE-2026-55460: Snipe-IT has an authorization bypass on bulk editing users

August 28, 2026

An authenticated non-admin user with users.view and users.edit, but without users.delete, can directly POST to /users/bulksave and soft-delete another non-admin user. The UI and confirmation route require users.delete, but the destructive sink only authorizes update.
