2 Security Vulnerabilities

cookie-signature Timing Attack

Published date: 2020-01-06T18:44:10Z
CVE: CVE-2016-1000236
Links:

Affected versions of cookie-signature are vulnerable to timing attacks as a result of using a fail-early comparison instead of a constant-time comparison.

Timing attacks remove the exponential increase in entropy gained from increased secret length, by providing per-character feedback on the correctness of a guess via miniscule timing differences.

Under favorable network conditions, an attacker can exploit this to guess the secret in no more than charset*length guesses, instead of charset^length guesses required were the timing attack not present.

Recommendation

Update to 1.0.4 or later.

Affected versions: ["0.0.1", "1.0.0", "1.0.1", "1.0.2", "1.0.3"]
Secure versions: [1.0.6, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.0.7]
Recommendation: Update to version 1.2.1.
