CVE-2026-47203
Published:June 19, 2026
Updated:July 21, 2026
Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server providing two-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for applications via a web portal. In versions 4.38.0 through 4.39.19, when a user authenticates via Basic Auth (i.e via the "Authorization" header with the "Basic" scheme) on the authz verification endpoint, Authelia takes the username directly from the "Authorization" header and passes it as is to the regulation system for ban checking and attempt recording. LDAP treats usernames case insensitively : "john", "John", and "JOHN" all bind as the same user. But the regulation SQL queries treat the lookup of these values in certain scenarios as case sensitive. This allows each variation of a usernames case to have its own ban bucket. Upgrade to 4.39.20 to receive a patch. As a workaround, explicitly disable the basic auth mechanism.
