AI-suggested
A fix is available in 2FAuth version 9.0.1. Users and administrators should upgrade to version 9.0.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Description
2FAuth versions prior to 9.0.1 have a vulnerability in the password recovery process that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate reset links by forging the HTTP Host header. This enables attackers to request recovery emails containing tokens with attacker-controlled hosts, potentially leading to account takeover and exposure of stored TOTP/HOTP secrets.
