Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.0, an authenticated user with users.create permission can submit the admin permission while creating a user because store() in app/Http/Controllers/Users/UsersController.php strips superuser permission but does not strip admin permission. The created account can obtain administrative privileges. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.0.

GHSA-hf68-g98v-wp9g — Snipe-IT Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing admin Permission Check in User Creation

Affected: Packagist: snipe/snipe-it

### Impact The `store()` method in both the web and API `UsersController` only strips the superuser permission when a non-superuser creates a user. It does not strip the admin permission. This allows any authenticated user with the `users.create` permission to create a new user with full admin privileges.

The `users.create permission` may commonly be delegated to HR staff, department leads, or similar roles.
