The legacy verifier, used by the deprecated login method, compares clear-text passwords, crypt hashes and base64 digests with eq, so the comparison time depends on how many leading bytes match.\n\nA remote attacker can use response-time differences to guess the stored password or hash."}], "lastModified": "2026-11-03T16:25:21.310", "sourceIdentifier": "9b29abf9-4ab0-4765-b253-1875cd9b441e"}
