| Title | Kodbox 1.64 Incorrect Authorization |
|---|
| Description | kodbox’s 2FA implementation contains two critical logic flaws. When 2FA is enabled (tfaOpen=1), the login flow only triggers a 2FA challenge if the client explicitly sends withTfa=0; if withTfa is omitted, the server skips 2FA entirely and issues a full access token based solely on username and password. Separately, in the 2FA verification step, setting wiotTfa=1 causes tfaVerify() to bypass OTP validation and complete the login directly.
Together, these issues mean that any attacker with valid credentials can log in without supplying a second factor, even for accounts that “require” 2FA, including the administrator. To fix this, 2FA must be enforced purely server-side whenever enabled, all client-side bypass flags (withTfa, wiotTfa) must be removed or tightly controlled, and all successful logins must depend on a verified 2FA code tied to a secure, short-lived server-generated challenge. |
