MEDIUMCVSS 5.9/10EPSS 0.48%

Last modified

CVE-2024-0436 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Theoretically, it would be possible for an attacker to brute-force the password for an instance in single-user password protection mode via a timing attack given the linear nature of the `!==` used for comparison. The risk is minified by the additional overhead of the request, which varies in a non-constant nature making the attack less reliable to execute. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
