CVE-2026-54685
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FileBrowser Quantum is a free, self-hosted, web-based file manager. Prior to version 1.3.2-beta, the `/api/auth/login` authentication endpoint does not execute in constant time. When a non-existent username is supplied, the server returns a `401`/`403` response almost immediately. When a valid username is provided, the server performs a bcrypt password comparison, causing a measurable delay in the response time. Version 1.3.2-beta patches the issue.

"value": "FileBrowser Quantum es un gestor de archivos web gratuito y autoalojado. Antes de la versión 1.3.2-beta, el endpoint de autenticación “/api/auth/login” no se ejecuta en tiempo constante. Cuando se proporciona un nombre de usuario inexistente, el servidor devuelve una respuesta ’401’/’403’ casi inmediatamente. Cuando se proporciona un nombre de usuario válido, el servidor realiza una comparación de contraseñas bcrypt, causando un retraso medible en el tiempo de respuesta. La versión 1.3.2-beta corrige el problema."
