How to fix?

Upgrade snipe/snipe-it to version 8.6.0 or higher.

Overview

snipe/snipe-it is an asset management system built on Laravel.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the PATCH process to /api/v1/users/{their_own_id} when a user has both users.edit and api permissions. An attacker can escalate their own privileges by assigning themselves additional permissions, such as assets.view, assets.create, or reports.view, except for admin and superuser, through crafted API requests.
