Liferay Portal 7.2.0 through 7.4.3.4 and Liferay DXP 7.2 before fix pack 17 (fixed in 7.2.10.fp17) do not properly check user permissions. A remote authenticated user who has only the VIEW user permission can edit their own permissions through the User and Organizations section of the Control Panel. Upgrade Liferay Portal to 7.4.3.5-ga5 or later, or Liferay DXP to 7.2.10.fp17 or later.
