Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy, where two separate operations in a product require different amounts of time to complete, in a way that is observable to an actor and reveals security-relevant information about the state of the product, such as whether a particular operation was successful or not. In Github.com/agnivade/easy scrypt, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in agnivade easy-scrypt. Affected is the function `VerifyPassphrase` of the file `scrypt.go`. The manipulation leads to observable timing discrepancy. Upgrading to version 1.0.0 can address this issue. The name of the patch is 477c10cf3b144ddf96526aa09f5fdea613f21812. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-217596.
