CVE-2024-52586: Elabftw

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Elabftw Elabftw: from 4.6.0, before 5.1.9 (fixed in 5.1.9)
