Summary
2FAuth before 8.0.0 is affected. The otpauth image fetch validates a hostname and then resolves it again for the HTTP request, which is a time-of-check to time-of-use race (CWE-367). When external otpauth image fetching is enabled, an authenticated user who controls a DNS server with low TTLs can return a public address during validation and an internal address during the request, bypassing the private-address deny list to reach loopback, private network, link-local or cloud metadata endpoints (CWE-918).

Description from the CNA
2FAuth is a web app to manage Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) accounts and generate their security codes. Prior to 8.0.0, the otpauth image-fetch path validates a hostname through ValidatesUrls::isExternalHost() and then lets IconService::storeRemoteImage() resolve the same hostname again for the HTTP request. When external otpauth image fetching is enabled, an authenticated user controlling low-TTL authoritative DNS can return a public address during validation and an internal address during the later connection, bypassing the private-address deny list to reach loopback, private-network, link-local, or cloud metadata endpoints. This issue is fixed in version 8.0.0.
