DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Runtipi is a personal homeserver orchestrator. Prior to 4.8.1, The Runtipi /api/auth/verify-totp endpoint does not enforce any rate limiting, attempt counting, or account lockout mechanism. An attacker who has obtained a user's valid credentials (via phishing, credential stuffing, or data breach) can brute-force the 6-digit TOTP code to completely bypass two-factor authentication. The TOTP verification session persists for 24 hours (default cache TTL), providing an excessive window during which the full 1,000,000-code keyspace (000000-999999) can be exhausted. At practical request rates (~500 req/s), the attack completes in approximately 33 minutes in the worst case. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.8.1.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Runtipi /api/auth/verify-totp endpoint requires only valid username/password credentials (no prior 2FA bypass needed). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.1 (High) reflects network-based attack vector (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) requiring low privileges (PR:L), resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first obtains valid user credentials through phishing, credential stuffing, or a data breach. They then target the /api/auth/verify-totp endpoint, systematically submitting TOTP codes from 000000 to 999999. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade Runtipi to version 4.8.1 or later, which implements proper rate limiting and authentication controls. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
