'install_plugins' => false,

@johnbillion Could it be that showing changelog on the Plugins page needs install_plugins cap.?

Link: "View version 3.23.2 details"

Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

Is it a core bug?

[johnbillion]

Yes that could well be a bug

Here it is. Even for install_plugins_pre_plugin-information.

A work-around

document.querySelectorAll(
    "a[href*='/wp-admin/plugin-install.php']"
).forEach(function (anchor) { anchor.outerHTML = anchor.innerHTML; });
