### Impact Any user with access to the CMS can view and delete other users' 2FA devices by going to the correct path. The user does not require special permissions in order to do so. By deleting the other user's device they can disable the target user's 2FA devices and potentially compromise the account if they figure out their password. ### Patches The problem has been patched in version 1.4.1. ### Workarounds There is no workaround for this issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [github.com/labd/wagtail-2fa](https://github.com/labd/wagtail-2fa) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
