Timing Attack

Spring Security is vulnerable to a timing attack. The vulnerability is due to the use of String.equals, which returns early when a character differs, causing response times to vary based on the number of matching leading characters and allowing an attacker to perform timing analysis to...

CVE-2026-59276

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...

CVE-2026-59276 Timing Attack via Non-Constant-Time Comparison of Sensitive Values

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...
