Description
In versions prior to 3.26.0 and prior to 4.11.0 of the "scheb/two-factor-bundle" project, a security vulnerability allowed attackers to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) using the remember_me cookie. When the remember_me checkbox was used during login, a "REMEMBERME" cookie was created. Upon redirection to the 2FA page, attackers could manipulate the SESSIONID key, granting access to the homepage "/" and gaining authentication without completing 2FA.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for scheb/two-factor-bundle, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update scheb/two-factor-bundle to 4.11.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9phw-7h96-q3rv 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-9phw-7h96-q3rv can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-9phw-7h96-q3rv. 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-9phw-7h96-q3rv in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-9phw-7h96-q3rv across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
