Project: Two-factor Authentication (TFA) [1]
Date: 2024-October-02
Security risk: *Critical* 15 ∕ 25
AC:Complex/A:None/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
Vulnerability: Access bypass

Affected versions: <1.8.0
Description: 
This module enables you to allow and/or require users to use a second
authentication method in addition to password authentication.

The module does not sufficiently migrate sessions before prompting for a
second factor token.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must fixate a
session on a victim system that is then authenticated with username and
password without completing Two Factor authentication. An attacker must
gather additional information regarding the entry form after authentication.
An attacker must still present a valid token to complete authentication.

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Two-factor Authentication (TFA) module for Drupal 8+
     upgrade to Two-factor Authentication (TFA) 8.x-1.8 [3]
   * If you use the Two-factor Authentication (TFA) module for Drupal 7 
upgrade
     to Two-factor Authentication (TFA) 7.x-2.4 [4]
