CWE-208

Description

Several components in Spring Security compare security-sensitive values using standard string equality (String.equals()) rather than a constant-time comparison. Because String.equals() returns as soon as it finds a differing character, the time taken to reject an incorrect value is proportional to the number of leading characters that match the expected value. Spring Security 7.1.0 Spring Security 7.0.0 - 7.0.6 Spring Security 6.5.0 - 6.5.11 Spring Security 6.4.0 - 6.4.18 Spring Security 5.8.0 - 5.8.27 Spring Security 5.7.0 - 5.7.25

Affected configurations

• vmware spring security (>= 5.7.0 < 5.7.26) • vmware spring security (>= 5.8.0 < 5.8.28) • vmware spring security (>= 6.4.0 < 6.4.19) • vmware spring security (>= 6.5.0 < 6.5.12) • vmware spring security (>= 7.0.0 < 7.0.6.1) • vmware spring security (>= 7.1.0 < 7.1.0.1)
