2FAuth missing access checks and authentication bypass

Other people's accounts in this two-factor code web app can be breached!

Summary

A logged-in user of the 2FAuth two-factor code manager web app can peek at other people's account sharing details, and with reverse-proxy login a forged header lets an attacker sign in as another user. Versions before 8.0.0 are affected, and a fresh instance can be taken over by an unauthenticated attacker who creates an administrator.

Affected when

  • account sharing enabled
  • external otpauth image fetching enabled
  • AUTHENTICATION_GUARD=reverse-proxy-guard set and app reachable directly

What to do

Update 2FAuth to version 8.0.0.
