CVE-2026-49470 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-25

GLPI is a free asset and IT management software package used to track and manage IT resources. An attacker who has stolen a user's login credentials can bypass the two-factor authentication protection by repeatedly guessing the time-based one-time password without limit, allowing them to take over the account. This vulnerability affects GLPI versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.7.

## Technical details

The time-based one-time password (TOTP) verification endpoint in GLPI lacks rate limiting on failed submission attempts. An attacker with valid primary credentials can brute-force the six-digit TOTP value by submitting unlimited guesses against the MFA verification endpoint. The vulnerability requires prior compromise of the user's username and password but enables bypass of the second authentication factor; it is patched in version 11.0.8.
