CVE-2024-52586

eLabFTW is an open source electronic lab notebook for research labs. A vulnerability has been found starting in version 4.6.0 and prior to version 5.1.0 that allows an attacker to bypass eLabFTW's built-in multifactor authentication mechanism. An attacker who can authenticate locally (by knowing or guessing the password of a user) can thus log in regardless of MFA requirements. This does not affect MFA that are performed by single sign-on services. Users are advised to upgrade to at least version 5.1.9 to receive a fix.

eLabFTW es un cuaderno de laboratorio electrónico de código abierto para laboratorios de investigación. Se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad a partir de la versión 4.6.0 y anteriores a la versión 5.1.0 que permite a un atacante eludir el mecanismo de autenticación multifactor integrado de eLabFTW. Un atacante que pueda autenticarse localmente (conociendo o adivinando la contraseña de un usuario) puede iniciar sesión independientemente de los requisitos de autenticación multifactor. Esto no afecta a la autenticación multifactor que se realiza mediante servicios de inicio de sesión único. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen al menos a la versión 5.1.9 para recibir una solución.
