## Overview

Snipe-IT before 8.7.0 fails to validate soft-deleted state in API checkout endpoints, allowing authenticated users with checkout permissions to bind live inventory to trashed targets. Attackers can submit POST requests to hardware, component, or consumable checkout endpoints with soft-deleted user, asset, or location IDs to create orphaned references that corrupt the asset ledger and audit trails.

## Affected

- `snipe-it < 8.7.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `snipe-it 8.7.0`
