AI-suggested

If you cannot patch yet, it is recommended to disable the session.cookieCache feature if possible to prevent exploitation of this bypass vulnerability.

Description

better-auth versions before 1.4.9 contain a two-factor authentication bypass vulnerability when session.cookieCache is enabled. Attackers with valid primary credentials can access authenticated routes without completing second-factor verification by exploiting premature session caching.
