Snipe-IT Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing admin Permission Check in User Creation
### 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. ### Patches Patched in [aea3877718](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/commit/aea3877718158cc2a10c2dde4597b1f439f5f6cb)
