• Possible disruption of asset management due to soft-deletion of users
• Need for verification of current access controls and user management processes

Technical summary

The vulnerability in Snipe-IT allows company-scoped users in FMCS floater mode to access users with null company_id. This is due to broad API queries and bulk web actions not consistently applying isCurrentUserHasAccess. The affected endpoints include /api/v1/users, /api/v1/users/{id}/licenses, /users/bulkeditsave, and /users/merge. The issue can lead to exposure of personal data and assigned licenses, modification of out-of-scope profiles, and soft-deletion of users and transfer of assigned assets.
