CVE-2026-45749: CWE-308: Use of Single-factor Authentication in Termix-SSH Termix
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities. The `POST /users/totp/disable` and `POST /users/totp/backup-codes` endpoints in Termix prior to version 2.3.2 accept the account password as a sole authentication factor for MFA-critical operations. An attacker who obtains a user's password (phishing, credential stuffing, the passwordHash leak in GHSA-xxxx) can disable TOTP entirely or regenerate backup codes, without ever possessing the TOTP device or knowing a valid TOTP code. This renders two-factor authentication ineffective. Version 2.3.2 patches the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Termix, a web-based server management platform, has a vulnerability (CVE-2026-45749) in versions before 2.3.2 where the POST endpoints /users/totp/disable and /users/totp/backup-codes accept only the account password to perform MFA-critical actions. This allows an attacker who has obtained the user's password through phishing, credential stuffing, or other leaks to disable TOTP or regenerate backup codes without needing the TOTP device or code, effectively bypassing two-factor authentication. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-308 (Use of Single-factor Authentication).
Potential Impact
An attacker who obtains a user's password can disable two-factor authentication protections by disabling TOTP or regenerating backup codes without possessing the second factor. This compromises account security by rendering MFA ineffective, increasing the risk of unauthorized access with just the password.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Termix to version 2.3.2 or later, where this vulnerability is patched. Until then, be aware that MFA-critical operations require only a password and consider additional compensating controls. Patch status is not explicitly stated but the issue is fixed in version 2.3.2, so updating to this version or newer is recommended.
