Vulnerability CVE-2024-21654


Published: 2024-01-12

Description:
Rubygems.org is the Ruby community's gem hosting service. Rubygems.org users with MFA enabled would normally be protected from account takeover in the case of email account takeover. However, a workaround on the forgotten password form allows an attacker to bypass the MFA requirement and takeover the account. This vulnerability has been patched in commit 0b3272a.

Type:

CWE-287

(Improper Authentication)
