Cockpit CMS versions prior to 2.14.1 are vulnerable to an account enumeration issue in the authentication check endpoint, where timing discrepancies in password verification allow attackers to differentiate between existing and non-existent accounts. This could lead to unauthorized access attempts and targeted attacks against valid user accounts. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of account enumeration and potential credential stuffing attacks.

Original NVD Description

Cockpit CMS before 2.14.1 contains an account enumeration vulnerability in the auth check endpoint due to timing discrepancies in password verification. Attackers can measure response times across multiple requests to determine which accounts exist by observing that existing accounts trigger bcrypt verification while non-existent accounts return immediately.
