VAR-202201-1821

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 11:21

The code that performs password matching when using 'Basic' HTTP authentication does not use a constant-time memcmp and has no rate-limiting. This means that an unauthenticated network attacker can brute-force the HTTP basic password, byte-by-byte, by recording the webserver's response time until the unauthorized (401) response. GoAhead Is vulnerable to improper restrictions on excessive authentication attempts.Information is obtained, information is tampered with, and service operation is interrupted. (DoS) It may be in a state. Embedthis Software GoAhead is an open source small embedded Web server from Embedthis Software in the United States
