* [CVE-2020-26136 GraphQL doesn't honour MFA when using basic auth](https://www.silverstripe.org/download/security-releases/CVE-2020-26136)
### CVE-2020-26136 GraphQL doesn't honour MFA when using basic auth {#CVE-2020-26136}
The Silverstripe CMS graphql endpoint on `/admin/graphql` can be accessed via basic authentication and bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
The basic-auth authenticator is no longer enabled by default. The regular member authenticator is still enabled and
protects the `/admin/graphql` endpoint.
If your site does not use MFA, or you understand that it can be bypassed, then the basic authenticator can be
reinstalled with the [following configuration](/docs/en/02_Developer_Guides/19_GraphQL/04_security_and_best_practices/01_authentication.md#defining-your-own-authenticators).
