Signature verification bypass via observable timing discrepancy
Published Jun 26, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Timing discrepancy in signature checks in Adobe Magento Open Source 2.3.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to bypass verification. Adobe has not disclosed the affected signature-checking locus or which comparison leaks timing differences from attacker-controlled signatures. Administrative access is required, and the resulting bypass can defeat signature verification; Adobe has not bounded the subsequent action.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=2.3.4 and earlier, 2.2.11 and earlier (see note), 1.14.4.4 and earlier, and 1.9.4.4 and earlier versions
