Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a broken access control issue in Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT versions prior to 7.8.1. It allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting the GoAnywhere One-Time Password (GOTP) email two-factor authentication system when a user has not set an email address. The attacker can enter the email address of a known user, and if that user has configured GOTP, the user account will be disabled.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can impact you by causing a denial of service situation where legitimate users who have configured GOTP for two-factor authentication can be disabled by an attacker. This could prevent users from accessing the system, disrupting normal operations.
