| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a Drupal site with the Authenticator Login Plus (2FA) contributed module installed and enabled at a vulnerable version (0.0.0 through 1.0.1); sites not running this specific module are unaffected. The flaw is an authentication bypass via an alternate path or channel (CWE-288), so the second-factor enforcement is the targeted control - meaning the module must actually be relied upon for 2FA for the bypass to matter. Limiting factors: CVSS rates attack complexity HIGH (AC:H), indicating a condition outside the attacker's control must hold for success, which reduces reliability; impact is partial (C:L/I:L, A:N). The exact configuration or channel that enables the bypass is not described in the available sources and should be confirmed against the Drupal advisory. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity issue (CVSS 4.8) that does not rise to an urgent, widely-weaponized threat, though the vendor priority label (this_month) indicates it should not be ignored. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated-trigger flaw with HIGH attack complexity, meaning some condition outside the attacker's direct control must be met for success - the available sources do not describe what that condition is. EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile), consistent with no observed exploitation activity. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified in the input, so this is not confirmed actively exploited. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are both Low and availability impact is None, reflecting a partial authentication-bypass rather than full account or system takeover. Net assessment: a real but non-emergency defensive item - the combination of low EPSS, no KEV, no identified PoC, high attack complexity, and limited impact places this well below critical-priority flaws, while the unauthenticated network vector and the security-sensitive nature of a 2FA bypass justify patching within the vendor's suggested this-month window. Note a signal tension worth verifying: the flaw is in a two-factor authentication module yet NVD rates it PR:N (no privileges), which is plausible for a pre-authentication alternate-channel bypass but should be confirmed against the Drupal advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker targeting a Drupal site running the Authenticator Login Plus (2FA) module (version 1.0.1 or earlier) leverages an alternate authentication path or channel to bypass the second-factor check, reducing login security to single-factor. The HIGH attack complexity (AC:H) implies success depends on a condition not fully under the attacker's control, so exploitation is not reliably repeatable. No public exploit code was identified in the available data, so this scenario is inferred from the CWE-288 classification and CVSS vector rather than a demonstrated PoC. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Authentication bypass in the Drupal contributed module Authenticator Login Plus (2FA), affecting versions 0.0.0 through 1.0.1, lets remote unauthenticated attackers defeat the module's second-factor enforcement by reaching an alternate path or channel (CWE-288). Only Drupal sites that have this specific contributed module installed and enabled at a vulnerable version are exposed; the second factor must actually be relied upon for the bypass to have meaningful impact. Impact is partial (confidentiality and integrity low, availability none) and the CVSS vector rates attack complexity High, so a condition outside the attacker's control must hold for a successful bypass; EPSS is low at 0.19% (9th percentile) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though the vendor's 'this_month' priority means it should be scheduled rather than deferred indefinitely.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available per the Drupal advisory (SA-CONTRIB-2026-197 at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-197); because the CVE record (affected through 1.0.1) and the EUVD range (0.0.0 < 1.0.1) conflict on whether 1.0.1 is vulnerable, verify the exact fixed release on that advisory and update the module to the version it names rather than assuming 1.0.1 is sufficient. Sites that cannot update promptly should disable or uninstall the Authenticator Login Plus (2FA) module, which removes the vulnerable enforcement path entirely - the trade-off is that the site loses the second-factor protection it was relying on, so pair that step with an alternative MFA mechanism or tightened access restrictions on privileged accounts until the update is applied. No other workaround is described in the available sources, and note that sites without the module installed require no action.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a contributed Drupal module rather than Drupal core - CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:authenticator_login_plus_(2fa) identifies the package, and the Drupal security team handled the report (SA-CONTRIB-2026-197). The root cause class is CWE-288, Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel: a route, sub-request path, or authentication channel exists that the module does not subject to its second-factor check, so a request that should require a completed 2FA step can be satisfied through that alternate channel instead. Because the weakness sits in the factor-enforcement logic, the security consequence is scoped to whatever the module protects - the second-factor gate - and the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, no-user-interaction attack of low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact, where AC:H indicates a precondition outside the attacker's control must be met. The specific configuration, route, or channel that enables the bypass is not described in the available sources and should be confirmed against the Drupal advisory; no exploitation has been confirmed via CISA KEV, and no public exploit code is referenced in the supplied intelligence.
