Summary by lboy

A security researcher discovered a way to bypass MFA in the login action of TrueLayer's Console when using a known username/password. The bug was only present when certain conditions were met, with the silent authentication feature enabled. The TrueLayer security team reproduced the issue in both TrueLayer's tenant and in other tenants, and therefore determined that it was most likely a bug in Auth0's implementation. After working with the Auth0 security team and HackerOne triagers, Auth0 were able to reproduce it and roll out a fix.
