Linux-PAM through 1.7.2 contains an observable timing discrepancy (CWE-208) in the pam_userdb module's plaintext-password comparison path in modules/pam_userdb/pam_userdb.c that allows a local or network-adjacent attacker able to repeatedly drive authentication through a calling service to recover the plaintext password of a target account by measuring response-timing differences.

CVE-2023-240353.5 BAJ—
———An issue was discovered in Nagios XI before 5.9.3. The is_insecure_login_authenticated function uses a insecure timing comparison that leads to an attacker being able to bruteforce the admin password, by measuring timing differences in the comparison.5hCVE-2026-877375.9 MED11.6%
——3An issue was discovered in the mirage-crypto-ec package before 2.4.0 for OCaml. There is a timing side channel for NIST elliptic-curve scalar multiplication: the time required for a lookup can depend on a secret.5dCVE-2026-160377.5 ALT22.8%
——7Observable timing discrepancy vulnerability in PayTR Payment and Electronic Money Institution Inc. PayTR Virtual Pos iFrame API (v9x) WHMCS Module allows Black Box Reverse Engineering.
This issue affects PayTR Virtual Pos iFrame API (v9x) WHMCS Module: from v9.0.0 before v9.0.3.6dCVE-2026-811593.7 BAJ17.3%
——5Observable Timing Discrepancy vulnerability in Drupal Commerce CyberSource allows Brute Force. This issue affects Commerce CyberSource versions: from 0.0.0 to 1.10.0.12dCVE-2026-843086.3 MED11.6%
——3phpseclib is a PHP secure communications library. Prior to 3.0.57 and 4.0.1, pure-PHP X25519 scalar multiplication in phpseclib/Math/PrimeField/Integer.php performs data-dependent conditional modular reductions in add() and subtract(). During the Montgomery ladder in phpseclib/Crypt/EC/BaseCurves/Montgomery.php, the reduction behavior of each step depends on the secret scalar prefix, creating per-step timing and libgmp call-count observations that can reveal a reused 251-bit clamped private scalar. The phpseclib/Crypt/EC/Formats/Keys/MontgomeryPrivate.php derivation path invokes the pure-PHP multiplication without a native-engine check, while phpseclib/Crypt/EC/Formats/Keys/PKCS8.php reaches it when ext-sodium is unavailable. Exploitation requires a reused or long-lived X25519 private key, knowledge of the corresponding public key, execution of the pure-PHP path, and a local observer capable of resolving individual ladder steps or libgmp entry-point calls. Ephemeral X25519 keys, including phpseclib's normal SSH exchange path, are not affected. Recovery of the scalar permanently compromises operations that reuse that key. This issue is fixed in versions 3.0.57 and 4.0.1.11dCVE-2026-824495.3 MED15.7%
——5Cockpit 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.16d
