GHSA-2gj2-vj98-j2qq: Missing Authorization in User#setDisabledStatus in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore
Impact
It’s possible for a user with only Script rights to enable or disable a user: this operation should be only doable for users with admin rights.
Patches
This problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.7, 14.4.2 and 14.5RC1.
Workarounds
There is no workaround other than upgrading the wiki, but note that this only impacts users with Script rights: administrator should take care which users have such right.
