Description
Impact
Due to inconsistent authorization checks, a company-scoped user can bypass tenant boundaries to read, mutate, and soft-delete users who do not belong to any company (company_id = null). While direct instance authorization (isCurrentUserHasAccess) correctly denies access to these out-of-scope users, multiple API endpoints and bulk action web routes fail to enforce this restriction, relying instead on class-level permissions or broad scoped queries. Impact:
A malicious user scoped to a specific company (e.g., Company A) can:
Data Leakage: Extract PII and assigned licenses of users outside their tenant via the API (/api/v1/users and /api/v1/users/{id}/licenses).
Data Modification: Mutate out-of-scope user profiles (e.g., changing city, notes) via the /users/bulkeditsave web route.
Data Deletion & Asset Theft: Soft-delete out-of-scope users and transfer their assigned assets to themselves via the /users/merge web route.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for snipe/snipe-it, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update snipe/snipe-it to 8.6.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c6w2-j4wq-mvwg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
