CVE-2024-22893
CVE-2024-22893: Timing attack vulnerability in OpenSlides 4.0.15. This flaw allows attackers to potentially glean information about password hashes due to the content-dependent runtime of the password verification function. The vulnerability exists because the system's response time varies based on the input, enabling a timing attack.
OpenSlides 4.0.15's flawed password verification process exposes sensitive user data. An attacker could exploit the timing differences to iteratively refine guesses and eventually crack the password hash. Despite a low SVRS score of 30, indicating lower immediate risk compared to more critical vulnerabilities, this CWE-269 vulnerability warrants attention due to its potential for unauthorized access and data compromise if exploited in conjunction with other weaknesses. Mitigating this issue is vital for maintaining the integrity and security of user accounts.
Description
CVE-2024-22893 is a timing attack vulnerability in OpenSlides 4.0.15. It allows attackers to obtain information about the password hash by comparing password hashes using a function with content-dependent runtime. The SVRS for this vulnerability is 34, indicating a moderate risk.
Key Insights
