dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Authenticator Login module installationCheck your Drupal installation's modules directory for the authenticator_login folder, typically at /modules/contrib/authenticator_login/ or /web/modules/contrib/authenticator_login/Affected if The authenticator_login folder exists in your modules directory
-
Identify installed module versionOpen the authenticator_login.info.yml file inside the module directory and read the 'version:' field, or check the composer.json file for the 'version' entry under 'extra.drupal' or the installed version in your composer.lockAffected if The version listed is below 2.0.6 (for example: 2.0.5, 2.0.4, or any version starting with 2.0.x where x is less than 6)
-
Verify module is enabledRun drush pm-list --status=enabled | grep authenticator_login or check the Drupal admin interface at /admin/modules to confirm the Authenticator Login module is enabledAffected if The module shows as enabled in Drupal's module list
If the Authenticator Login module is installed and enabled with a version lower than 2.0.6, your environment is affected by this authorization bypass vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.0.6
Upgrade to Authenticator Login version 2.0.6 or later which includes proper authorization controls; if unable to upgrade immediately, audit all protected routes and implement access checks on authentication-related endpoints.
2.0.6
- 1. Back up your Drupal site database and files before making any changes.
- 2. Update the Authenticator Login module to version 2.0.6 using your preferred method (Drush, Composer, or Drupal admin interface).
- 3. Clear Drupal caches after the update to ensure the new module code is loaded.
- 4. Verify the update was successful by checking the module version in the Drupal admin interface or via Drush: drush pm-list | grep authenticator_login.
