Description
Impact
The legacy single-seat license checkin flow authorizes the action with the checkout permission instead of the checkin permission. Because of this, a user who is allowed to assign licenses but not unassign them can still directly access the old checkin endpoint and reclaim a license seat that is currently assigned to another user or asset.
