2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already know a valid username AND password for a user who has two-factor authentication enabled; the flaw lets that partially-authenticated login (stopped at the second factor) reach EspoCRM routes that do not enforce full authentication, exposing configuration parameters that are not otherwise public. Limiting factors: it provides NO initial access on its own (first-factor credentials must be compromised beforehand), it is read-only (confidentiality of config only - no write, code execution, or account takeover demonstrated), and it applies to EspoCRM versions before 10.0.6, so patched or 10.0.6+ instances are not affected. No special non-default configuration is required beyond the targeted user having 2FA enabled.

Impact

This is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) authentication/2FA bypass, and the available signals are internally consistent in pointing to limited, not urgent, real-world risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) shows network reachability and low complexity but requires low privileges - specifically, the attacker must already possess a valid username and password for a 2FA-enabled account - and the impact is confined to confidentiality (VC:L, VI:N, VA:N): reading configuration parameters not meant to be public. CISA SSVC reinforces this: Exploitation=none (no observed in-the-wild activity), Automatable=no, and Technical Impact=partial. A public exploit exists (vendor GHSA advisory) and the issue was reported by VulnCheck, but this is NOT in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The principal mitigating factor is that 2FA bypass is only meaningful once an attacker has already compromised the first factor (username + password), which downgrades this from a standalone break to a defense-in-depth failure. Net: a legitimate patch-management priority for EspoCRM operators who rely on 2FA, but not a drop-everything emergency, and its CVSS-indicated 'network/low-complexity' profile should be read alongside the PR:L credential prerequisite rather than as unauthenticated access.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already obtained a 2FA-enabled EspoCRM user's username and password (e.g., via phishing or credential reuse) submits those credentials, reaching the point where the second factor is normally demanded. Instead of completing 2FA, the attacker directs the partially-authenticated session to routes that do not enforce full authentication and retrieves configuration parameters that are not publicly exposed. A public exploit referenced in the vendor's GitHub security advisory (GHSA-ph8v-hvf5-wgp9) demonstrates the bypass.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

An authentication bypass in EspoCRM versions before 10.0.6 allows an attacker who already possesses a valid username and password for a two-factor-enabled account to stop at the second-factor prompt and still reach routes that do not enforce full authentication, exposing configuration parameters that are not otherwise publicly available. The CVSS vector carries PR:L, confirming the attack presupposes previously obtained first-factor credentials, so it provides no initial access on its own and the demonstrated impact is read-only confidentiality loss with no write, code execution, or account takeover. Publicly available exploit code exists and the vendor has released EspoCRM 10.0.6 as the fix, while CISA's SSVC assessment rates exploitation as none and the vulnerability as not automatable, consistent with a medium-severity issue that is not urgent in the absence of prior credential compromise.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade EspoCRM to 10.0.6 or later, the first version in which the partially authenticated session is no longer accepted on unauthenticated routes; see the vendor advisory at https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/security/advisories/GHSA-ph8v-hvf5-wgp9 and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/espocrm-before-10.0.6-two-factor-authentication-bypass-on-unauthenticated-routes for details. Because exploitation requires an attacker to already hold a valid username and password for a 2FA-enabled account, the highest-value compensating controls focus on that prerequisite and on reachability: enforce strong, unique credentials and monitor for credential-stuffing or password-reuse attacks against CRM accounts, and restrict network access to the EspoCRM instance (VPN, IP allowlisting, or an authenticating reverse proxy) so that an attacker with stolen first-factor credentials cannot reach the affected routes at all - the trade-off is reduced flexibility for remote or mobile users. Disabling two-factor authentication would technically remove the vulnerable state by eliminating the partial-login condition, but this substantially weakens account security and is not recommended; if it is temporarily necessary during an upgrade window, pair it with enforced password rotation and tight access restrictions. As a detective measure pending patching, review EspoCRM and web-server logs for sessions that authenticated only with a password but subsequently requested configuration or administrative endpoints, since the flaw is read-only and may otherwise leave no obvious symptom. CISA's SSVC assessment rates exploitation as none and automatable as no, so there is no indication of active exploitation at time of analysis despite the existence of publicly available exploit code.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): EspoCRM's login flow creates a session after the first authentication factor and then expects the second factor to be satisfied before the session is granted full privileges. Routes that do not declare an authentication requirement evidently validated only the existence of a partially authenticated session rather than its completion state, so a login halted at the 2FA step was treated as sufficient and those endpoints returned configuration parameters normally reserved for fully authenticated users. The affected technology is the EspoCRM PHP/MySQL customer-relationship-management application, tracked generically by CPE cpe:2.3:a:espocrm:espocrm:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with the vulnerable range constrained by the advisory and EUVD entry to versions 0 through 10.0.6-exclusive. The supplied CVSS:4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N, with all subsequent and threat metrics undefined) aligns with the independent CVSS:3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) in describing a network-reachable, low-complexity, authenticated-prerequisite information disclosure rather than a full compromise primitive; the flaw does not bypass the password check itself, only the second factor on a subset of routes.

DescriptionCVE.org

EspoCRM before 10.0.6 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that accepts a login stopped at the second factor on routes not requiring authentication. Attackers knowing a 2FA-enabled user's username and password can skip the second factor to read config parameters not exposed publicly.
