MEDIUM 5.1EPSS 0.20%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication versions through 0.10024 for Perl is susceptible to timing attacks. These versions use Perl's built-in eq comparison. Discrepencies in timing could be used to guess the underlying hash or password.
