Overview

wagtail-2fa is a Django app adding two factor authentication to Wagtail.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Access Control. If a malicious user gains access to someone's Wagtail login credentials, they can log into the CMS and bypass the 2FA check by changing the URL. They can then add a new device and gain full access to the CMS.
