The vulnerability was discovered in June 2023 and affects various versions of ManageEngine products including Active Directory 360, ADAudit Plus, ADManager Plus, and several others.

The technical nature of the vulnerability involves the bypass of TOTP-based two-factor authentication mechanisms in affected ManageEngine products (NVD).

Impact

Mitigation and workarounds

Zoho has released patches for all affected products in June 2023. Organizations are strongly advised to upgrade to the latest builds of the affected products.
