Timing Attack

Overview lightrag-hku is a LightRAG: Simple and Fast Retrieval-Augmented Generation Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attack via the verifypassword function in lightrag/api/passwords.py, which compares plaintext AUTHACCOUNTS passwords using Python's == operator. This...

GHSA-C759-CX9P-MRWQ lightrag-hku: Plaintext Passwords Compared Without Constant-Time Function

Summary When plaintext passwords are stored in AUTHACCOUNTS, the comparison uses Python's == operator which is not constant-time. An attacker with low-latency access can exploit timing differences to recover the password character by character. Details python lightrag/api/passwords.py:13-26 def...

CVE-2026-85725

Prior to version 1.5.5 , LightRAG is vulnerable to a timing attack in the verify_password function within lightrag/api/passwords.py. The application uses Python's == operator to compare plaintext password values in AUTH_ACCOUNTS, which short-circuits on the first mismatching byte. A network attac...
