ChurchCRM: Incomplete fix for CVE-2026-40582: public API login still bypasses 2FA and account lockout in ChurchCRM 7.2.2

ChurchCRM is an open-source church management system. From 7.2.0 to 7.2.2, The fix for CVE-2026-4058 is incomplete. The hardening commit was merged and then silently stripped from src/api/routes/public/public-user.php by an unrelated PR before any 7.2.x tag was cut. Every shipped 7.2.x release therefore remains exploitable by the PoC published with the original advisory. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.1.
