SCA: security update for django-mfa3 (GHSA-3r7g-wrpr-j5g4)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409674
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- django-mfa3 is a library that implements multi factor authentication for the django web framework. It
achieves this by modifying the regular login view. Django however has a second login view for its admin
area. This second login view was not modified, so the multi factor authentication can be bypassed. Users
are affected if they have activated both django-mfa3 (< 0.5.0) and django.contrib.admin and have not taken
any other measures to prevent users from accessing the admin login view. The issue has been fixed in
django-mfa3 0.5.0. It is possible to work around the issue by overwriting the admin login route, e.g. by
adding the following URL definition *before* the admin routes: url('admin/login/', lambda request:
redirect(settings.LOGIN_URL) (CVE-2022-24857)
