GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm
HIGH2FA bypass through deleting devices in wagtail-2fa
Blast Radius
wagtail-2faReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Any user with access to the CMS can view and delete other users' 2FA devices by going to the correct path. The user does not require special permissions in order to do so. By deleting the other user's device they can disable the target user's 2FA devices and potentially compromise the account if they figure out their password.
Patches
The problem has been patched in version 1.4.1.
Workarounds
There is no workaround for this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for wagtail-2fa. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update wagtail-2fa to 1.4.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-9gjv-6qq6-v7qm across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
