Summary
eduMFA: Unauthenticated Failcounter Increment on Resolver Tokens via /validate/check
Details
Impact
If the resolver parameter is passed, but the user does not exist, all failcounters of tokens in that resolver will be increased.
Patches
This, along with other issues, was fixed in eduMFA v2.9.1.
Workarounds
Limiting access to /validate/check to client applications (i.e. Shibboleth/FreeRADIUS) using an authorization policy with api_key_required or using e.g. the reverse proxy.
Severity
6.5 (Medium)
