So, I gave may player a Hammer of Thunderbolts. While not attuned to it, the PC has STR 16. But while attuned to it, he has STR 20.
He doesn't have the belt of giant strength (any variety) or gauntlets of ogre power, so I didn't think attuning to the hammer would do anything. Is this a bug on the character sheet, or do I just tell the player not to attune the weapon?
"You must be wearing a belt of giant strength (any variety) and gauntlets of ogre power to attune to this weapon. The attunement ends if you take off either of those items. While you are attuned to this weapon and holding it, your Strength score increases by 4 and can exceed 20, but not 30."
So, if it's indicated he's attuned to it it's perfectly normal that his Str goes up by 4. The issue is that he isn't able to attune in the first place.
The system cannot prevent Attunement due to not having those other items. The player is responsible for not cheating. Tell them they are not allowed to attune to the item without those other items.

Just tell the player not to attune the weapon since he can't attune it.
Ok, thanks everyone! Your help is much appreciated!
