Affected packages

• Packagist snipe/snipe-it: < 8.6.2 → fixed in 8.6.2

Description

Impact The legacy single-seat license checkin flow authorizes the action with the `checkout` permission instead of the `checkin` permission. Because of this, a user who is allowed to assign licenses but not unassign them can still directly access the old checkin endpoint and reclaim a license seat that is currently assigned to another user or asset.
