Summary

Cockpit CMS 2.14.1 contains a timing discrepancy that lets unauthenticated remote attackers enumerate valid accounts through the /auth/check endpoint. Existing accounts trigger two bcrypt operations while unknown accounts trigger one, so an attacker who posts login attempts and measures response times can learn valid usernames and email addresses (CWE-208).

Description from the CNA

Cockpit CMS 2.14.1 contains an observable timing discrepancy vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate accounts due to an incomplete timing fix in /auth/check. Attackers can post login attempts and measure response times, since existing accounts incur two bcrypt operations versus one, revealing valid usernames and email addresses.
