## Overview

### Impact
 Snipe-IT S3 signature image retrieval lacks authorization before temporary URL.

On S3-backed deployments, authenticated users who know a signature filename can obtain a 5-minute signed S3 URL because the S3 branch returns before the `authorize()` call used by the local-file branch.

## Key evidence
`routes/web.php:135-143`; `app/Http/Controllers/ActionlogController.php:16-44`; `app/Http/Controllers/Account/AcceptanceController.php:160,175`; `app/Listeners/LogListener.php:56`; `app/Http/Transformers/ActionlogsTransformer.php:188`
