Description
An issue was discovered in the Thermo Fisher Torrent Suite Django application 5.18.1. One of the middlewares included in this application, LocalhostAuthMiddleware, authenticates users as ionadmin if the REMOTE_ADDR property in request.META is set to 127.0.0.1, to 127.0.1.1, or to ::1. Any user with local access to the server may bypass authentication.
