- Summary
- express-basic-auth Timing Attack due to native string comparison instead of constant time string comparison
- Details
-
Versions of
express-basic-authprior to 1.1.7 are vulnerable to Timing Attacks. The package uses native string comparison instead of a constant time string comparison, which may lead to Timing Attacks. Timing Attacks can be used to increase the efficiency of brute-force attacks by removing the exponential increase in entropy gained from longer secrets.Recommendation
Upgrade to version 1.1.7 or later.
