Descriptions

JHipster generator-jhipster before 2.23.0 allows a timing attack against validateToken due to a string comparison that stops at the first character that is different. Attackers can guess tokens by brute forcing one character at a time and observing the timing. This of course drastically reduces the search space to a linear amount of guesses based on the token length times the possible characters.

JHipster generador-jhipster anterior a 2.23.0 permite un ataque de tiempo contra validarToken debido a una comparación de cadenas que se detiene en el primer carácter que es diferente. Los atacantes pueden adivinar fichas forzando bruscamente un personaje a la vez y observando el tiempo. Por supuesto, esto reduce drásticamente el espacio de búsqueda a una cantidad lineal de conjeturas basadas en la longitud del token multiplicada por los caracteres posibles.
