medium Nessus Plugin ID 207993

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7050-1 advisory.

Benoit Ct-Jodoin and Michael Nipper discovered that Devise-Two-Factor incorrectly handled one-time password validation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept and re-use a one-time password. (CVE-2021-43177)

Garrett Rappaport discovered that Devise-Two-Factor incorrectly handled generating multi-factor authentication codes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to generate valid multi-factor authentication codes. (CVE-2024-8796)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected ruby-devise-two-factor package.
