CVE-2026-107147: twofactor_gauthenticator plugin for Roundcube authentication bypass via header spoofing

CVE-2026-107147 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-27

The twofactor_gauthenticator plugin for Roundcube is a two-factor authentication add-on that verifies user identity before allowing email access. An attacker who has obtained a user's password can bypass the second authentication factor by forging network header information (Client-IP and X-Forwarded-For) to make the system think the login is coming from a trusted location. This allows unauthorized access to user email accounts.

Technologies: Alexandregz Twofactor Gauthenticator. Vendors: Alexandregz.

Technical details

The plugin fails to validate the Client-IP and X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers when checking whether a client IP address is whitelisted, allowing header spoofing to bypass 2FA. An attacker with valid credentials can craft requests with forged headers matching a whitelisted IP to skip the second authentication factor. The vulnerability was fixed in commit 4640889.
