Medium [CVE-2026-59276] org.springframework.security/spring-security-core: Spring Security: Information disclosure via timing attack in sensitive value comparison
CVE-2026-59276Source published Source updated
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 number of leading characters that match the expected value. An attacker capable of submitting a very large number of guesses and precisely measuring response latency could, in principle, use these timing differences to recover the expected value one character at a time. Because rejection time can correlate with how many leading characters match, an attacker who can submit a very large number of requests and precisely measure response latency could, in theory, recover protected values…
