Last modified
CVE-2020-15237 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. In Shrine before version 3.3.0, when using the `derivation_endpoint` plugin, it's possible for the attacker to use a timing attack to guess the signature of the derivation URL. The problem has been fixed by comparing sent and calculated signature in constant time, using `Rack::Utils.secure_compare`. EPSS estimates a 1.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
