This means that a bad actor could intercept the Duo prompt and create their own response to the Duo prompt’s request for device health information and send that response up to Duo servers.

When a user's device doesn't meet the security requirements of the device health policy, the Duo Device Health application provides the user with steps they can take to remediate their security posture to align with the device health policy on the application. After installing the Device Health application, Duo blocks access to applications through the Duo browser-based authentication prompt (when displayed in a browser or in a supported thick client's embedded browser) if the device is unhealthy based on the Duo policy definition and informs the user of the reason for denying the authentication. The first time users log in to an application protected by the web-based Duo Universal Prompt or traditional Duo Prompt with the Device Health application policy set to require the app, Duo prompts them to download and install the Duo Device Health application.
