Title:
  Disabled features are still accessible by visiting their URI directly

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I disable a plugin (e.g. Resume), then the menu items for it disappear (correctly).
  However, if I visit the URI for that plugin (e.g. /artefact/resume) on my site, I can still access, view, modify and submit information stored within the artefact.

  Marking this as a security vulnerability because the plugin has been
  disabled but this is being circumvented.
