| Description | Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go. Prior to 3.3.0, the default Authorizer function in the BasicAuth middleware in middleware/basicauth/config.go uses short-circuit evaluation that skips password hash comparison for non-existent usernames, enabling reliable remote username enumeration through response timing differences. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0. |
