Description

OpenProject is an open-source, web-based project management software. Prior to 17.0.2, users with the Manage Users permission can lock and unlock users.

Due to a missing permission check this logic was not enforced. The problem was fixed in OpenProject 17.0.2The problem was fixed in OpenProject 17.0.2.
