pyquorum: Timing side‑channel in mul_mod

Quick fix

PYSEC-2026-3028 — pyquorum: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pyquorum>=0.2.1'

Details

### Impact The `mul_mod` function implements multiplication via a binary expansion loop whose execution time depends on the Hamming weight of the second operand (the exponent). An attacker who can measure the time of secret‑sharing operations (e.g., via a remote service) could progressively recover the values of shares, ultimately leading to secret reconstruction.
