Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management via UserDeactivateView and UserActivateView in wger/core/views/user.py, where WgerMultiplePermissionRequiredMixin applies OR logic to the permission_required tuple, granting any user holding the gym.gym_trainer permission the ability to deactivate or activate accounts in the same gym. The dispatch() method checks only that the target belongs to the same gym, with no privilege-hierarchy check, so a trainer can deactivate gym_manager and general_gym_manager accounts, locking those users out of the application. The same flaw exists in UserActivateView, allowing a trainer to re-activate accounts as well.
