radicale is vulnerable to timing attacks. It does not compare passwords in constant time, because it uses a non-constant character to character comparison. Consequently, the comparison will fail faster when the first characters in the password are incorrect. Attackers can exploit this difference to perform a timing attack, essentially allowing them to guess the password one character at a time.
