Description

The verify endpoint in YubiKey Validation Server before 2.40 does not check the length of SQL queries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, aka SQL injection. NOTE: this issue is potentially relevant to persons outside Yubico who operate a self-hosted OTP validation service; the issue does NOT affect YubiCloud.

Affected products

• Yubico Yubikey One Time Password Validation Server: before 2.40 — fixed in 2.40

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Yubico Yubikey One Time Password Validation Server 2.40. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
