GHSA-5jjv-x4fq-qjwp
Possible timing attack in derivation_endpoint
Quick fix
GHSA-5jjv-x4fq-qjwp — shrine: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
bundle update shrineDetails
### Impact
When using the `derivation_endpoint` plugin, it's possible for the attacker to use a timing attack to guess the signature of the derivation URL.
### Patches
The problem has been fixed by comparing sent and calculated signature in constant time, using `Rack::Utils.secure_compare`. Users using the `derivation_endpoint` plugin are urged to upgrade to Shrine 3.3.0 or greater.
### Workarounds
Users of older Shrine versions can apply the following monkey-patch after loading the `derivation_endpoint` plugin:
```rb class Shrine class UrlSigner def verify_signature(string, signature) if signature.nil? fail InvalidSignature, "missing \"signature\" param" elsif !Rack::Utils.secure_compare(signature, generate_signature(string)) fail InvalidSignature, "provided signature does not match the calculated signature" end end end end ```
