  - JupyterLab (pip package 'jupyterlab') versions >=4.1.0,<=4.5.9 and >=4.6.0,<=4.6.1 contain a plugin
    manager lock-rule enforcement bypass. Two server-side enforcement gaps allow an authenticated user to
    circumvent administrator lock rules by making direct requests to the /lab/api/plugins endpoint, enabling
    or disabling plugins that were locked  including child plugins of multi-plugin extensions and plugins
    locked via the 'lock all' mechanism. This can impact data integrity and bypass hardening or restrictions
    (e.g., download/upload limits) implemented through locked plugins. Fixed in versions 4.6.2 and 4.5.10.
