Original description
The description as published by the source.
Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.6.2, the unaccepted-assets report delete endpoint authorizes only reports.view and deletes CheckoutAcceptance::pending()->find($acceptanceId) by global ID without checking access to the related checkoutable asset, allowing a reports user in one company to delete pending checkout acceptance records for another company. This issue is fixed in version 8.6.2.
