    express-basic-auth Timing Attack due to native string comparison instead of constant time string comparison

    GHSA-c35v-qwqg-87jc

    Affected
    • npm express-basic-auth < 1.1.7
    Fixed in
    1.1.7· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    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. Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.1.7 or later.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.1.7 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
