Sync-in Server is an open-source platform for file storage, sharing, collaboration, and syncing. Prior to version 2.4.0, POST /api/app/sync/register accepts credentials and a TOTP code to register a desktop sync client. On a failed TOTP, SyncClientsManager.register() calls updateAccesses(user, ip, false), which hits a freeze branch that writes passwordAttempts back unchanged. The counter never reaches USER_MAX_PASSWORD_ATTEMPTS (10) and the lockout gate never fires. A successful guess returns a {clientId, clientToken} pair. The token can be exchanged via POST /api/app/sync/auth/cookie for a full JWT. While the code is valid, the attacker can also call POST /api/auth/2fa/disable to permanently remove MFA. Version 2.4.0 patches the issue.
CVE-2026-58271
This medium-severity CVE scores 6.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 82% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
