scheb/two-factor-bundle bypass two-factor authentication with unverified JWT trusted device token
Real-World Exposure
scheb/two-factor-bundleReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Before version 3.7 the bundle is vulnerable to a security issue in JWT, which can be exploited by an attacker to generate trusted device cookies on their own, effectively by-passing two-factor authentication.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

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 3.7.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h6mp-mc7g-mg49 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-h6mp-mc7g-mg49 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-h6mp-mc7g-mg49. 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-h6mp-mc7g-mg49 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-h6mp-mc7g-mg49 across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
