What is CVE-2024-5124?
A vulnerability exists in the password comparison logic of the gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt repository. Specifically, in version 20240310, the software utilizes the '=' operator in Python for password comparison. This method creates a timing discrepancy during the comparison process, allowing potential attackers to deduce passwords based on the time taken for each character's evaluation. As a result, an attacker who exploits this flaw could systematically guess user passwords, leading to possible unauthorized access and exposure of sensitive information.
