CVE-2021-43177 affects devise-two-factor versions prior to 4.0.2. The vulnerability stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-7225, allowing potential reuse of One-Time-Password (OTP) for one immediately trailing interval. This security issue was discovered by Benoit Côté-Jodoin and Michael Nipper (GitHub Advisory).
