Termix is a web-based server management platform that provides SSH terminal access and file editing capabilities.

Technical details

The POST /users/totp/disable and POST /users/totp/backup-codes endpoints in src/backend/database/routes/user-totp-routes.ts treat password and TOTP code as interchangeable reauthentication factors due to a regression in version 2.4.0. An attacker with a valid authenticated session and the account password can bypass TOTP verification by calling verifyTotpReauth, which accepts the password alone and disables two-factor authentication. The vulnerability requires prior session compromise or password knowledge but no active authenticator device.
