Technical description

wger versions through master contain an incomplete authorization bypass in wger/core/views/user.py where three views retain the original gym-scope check using raw integer comparison instead of the is_same_gym() helper, allowing gym staff with gym=None to delete, deactivate, or activate any other user with gym=None. Attackers with gym.manage_gym permission and gym=None affiliation can permanently delete user accounts, lock users out via deactivation, or undo defensive deactivations by exploiting the None != None comparison edge case.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
