Just as a side comment, it seems like the following checkbox items should be at the TOP of the Bug Report form instead of at the bottom:

Did you try resetting your UserProfile?	


Is OpenGL enabled?

Confirming on behalf of user in https://ask.libreoffice.org/pt-br/question/228287/pdf-com-senha-de-permissao-definida/

Which google-translation is: 

Good afternoon, LibreOffice 6.4, I created a document (Petition) - File menu - Export as PDF, in the Security tab - I defined a password for permission and also the Digital Signature. - I exported and saved. I went to check the security integrity, opened the file using LIBREOFFICE 6.4, locate the generated PDF file and clicked to open it. Asked for the password to edit the document, great. However, when I clicked to cancel, to my surprise, the file opened normally, allowing any changes to be made to the document. For me this is very dangerous, as a Lawyer, I send digitally signed documents in PDF in the confidence that it is blocked for editing and in fact it is not. I was sad, for a long time I've been trying to get rid of Ruidoindows and its accessories, I'm enjoying LinuxMint (1 year of use), now this possible failure of LibreOffice when saving the file, I hope I'm wrong!

As for initial report, it's is NotABug.
Because LO exports properly setting restrictions, can be seen with other PDF readers: Adobe, X-change, Master PDF. 
I don't have Acrobat but I see that it's similar for some other programs that can make PDF restricted content.
Just some don't obey that, here is reported Okular, I confirm for Xreader. This bug should be reported to them. 

As for comment 2, that's a different issue, which is actually not a bug, because PDF security is not to be trusted to.
