CVE-2026-84206: Incorrect Authorization in grokability snipe-it
Description
Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 gates the bulk asset restore endpoint on the assets.edit permission instead of assets.delete, allowing users without delete rights to restore soft-deleted assets. Attackers with edit permissions can post asset identifiers to the bulk restore endpoint to undo administrator deletions and bypass intended permission separation.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-84206 is an authorization vulnerability in grokability's Snipe-IT asset management software before version 8.7.0. The bulk asset restore endpoint incorrectly checks for assets.edit permission rather than assets.delete permission. As a result, users granted edit permissions can restore assets that were soft-deleted by administrators, circumventing the intended separation of permissions between editing and deleting assets.
Potential Impact
Users with assets.edit permission can restore soft-deleted assets without having assets.delete permission, potentially undermining administrative controls and permission boundaries. This could lead to unauthorized restoration of assets that administrators intended to keep deleted, impacting asset management integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vulnerability affects versions prior to 8.7.0, upgrading to version 8.7.0 or later is implied to resolve the issue. Until an official fix is confirmed, restrict assets.edit permissions to trusted users only.
