Login timing attack in ibexa/core

GHSA-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (ibexa/core 4.1.4, 4.0.7), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Ibexa DXP is using random execution time to hinder timing attacks against user accounts, a method of discovering whether a given account exists in a system without knowing its password, thus affecting privacy. This implementation was found to not be good enough in some situations. The fix replaces this with constant time functionality, configured in the new security.yml parameter 'ibexa.security.authentication.constantauthtime'. It will log a warning if the constant time is exceeded. If this happens the setting should be increased.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq

Advisory: Login timing attack in ibexa/core
IDs: GHSA-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:56 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: ibexa/core 4.1.4, 4.0.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Packagist ibexa/core: affected >= 4.0.0, < 4.0.7; >= 4.1.0, < 4.1.4; fixed in 4.0.7, 4.1.4

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist ibexa/core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on ibexa/core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-2x4v-g8cx-jxrq lists affected ranges: Packagist ibexa/core >=4.0.0 =4.1.0 <4.1.4)
