{"id":"GHSA-c35v-qwqg-87jc","summary":"express-basic-auth Timing Attack due to native string comparison instead of constant time string comparison","details":"Versions of `express-basic-auth` prior 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.\n\n\n## Recommendation\n\nUpgrade to version 1.1.7 or later.","modified":"2022-08-03T16:27:53Z","published":"2019-06-06T15:32:32Z","database_specific":{"severity":"LOW","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2019-06-06T09:51:04Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-208"]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/webpack-contrib/webpack-bundle-analyzer/issues/263"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/LionC/express-basic-auth/pull/20"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/LionC/express-basic-auth/pull/21"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/LionC/express-basic-auth/commit/00bb29fdd638f5cda8025d4398be97d528ce3f6f"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/LionC/express-basic-auth"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-EXPRESSBASICAUTH-174345"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/advisories/827"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"express-basic-auth","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/express-basic-auth"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.1.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2019/06/GHSA-c35v-qwqg-87jc/GHSA-c35v-qwqg-87jc.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"}]}
