CVE-2026-49470: CWE-307: Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in glpi-project glpi
GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package. From 11.0.0 until 11.0.8, the time-based one-time password verification endpoint does not limit failed submissions per user. An attacker who has obtained a user's primary authentication credentials can repeatedly submit TOTP values against the MFA verification flow, making brute-force compromise of the second factor and subsequent account takeover possible. This issue is fixed in version 11.0.8.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
GLPI, an IT asset management software, has a vulnerability (CVE-2026-49470) classified as CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts) affecting versions >=11.0.0 and <11.0.8. The TOTP verification endpoint lacks rate limiting on failed submissions per user, permitting an attacker with valid primary credentials to repeatedly attempt MFA codes. This can lead to brute-force compromise of the second authentication factor and subsequent account takeover. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.7 (high severity) and is fixed in version 11.0.8.
Potential Impact
An attacker who has obtained a user's primary authentication credentials can exploit this vulnerability to brute-force the MFA second factor by submitting unlimited TOTP attempts. Successful exploitation results in account takeover, compromising user accounts protected by MFA in affected GLPI versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade GLPI to version 11.0.8 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the vendor advisory.
