DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ajenti.plugin.core defines all necessary core elements to allow Ajenti to run properly. Prior to 0.112, if the 2FA was activated, it was possible during a short moment after the authentication of an user to bypass its authentication. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.112.

AnalysisAI

Remote authentication bypass in Ajenti prior to version 0.112 allows unauthenticated network attackers to circumvent two-factor authentication during a brief post-authentication window with high attack complexity. The vulnerability affects the core authentication mechanism in ajenti.plugin.core and permits attackers to gain high-confidence access to protected resources; the vendor released patched version 0.112 to resolve this issue.

Technical ContextAI

Ajenti is a lightweight web-based system administration panel that relies on its core plugin module (ajenti.plugin.core) to manage authentication and authorization. The vulnerability exists in the two-factor authentication (2FA) implementation, specifically during the transition period immediately after a user successfully authenticates with their primary credentials but before 2FA validation is fully enforced. This represents a classic authentication state machine flaw (CWE-287: Improper Authentication) where the application fails to maintain a secure intermediate state between initial authentication and secondary factor verification. The attack surface is network-accessible through the web interface, but requires precise timing or knowledge of the authentication flow to exploit the race condition or logic gap.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade Ajenti to version 0.112 or later. No workarounds are documented for deployments that cannot immediately upgrade. Organizations running versions prior to 0.112 with 2FA enabled should prioritize this update. Patch availability and instructions can be confirmed via the official GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/ajenti/ajenti/security/advisories/GHSA-8647-755q-fw9p. Installation instructions for the latest version are available in the Ajenti repository and documentation.
