TSplus Remote Access MFA Authentication Bypass

Executive Summary

This is an incorrect authentication vulnerability in the TSplus Remote Access multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanism. A remote attacker with valid first-factor credentials can bypass the second-factor verification because the authentication flow does not correctly apply the MFA validation result. This allows the attacker to complete login without a valid second-factor token and gain access to protected applications and resources.
