Summary

yii2-authclient vulnerable to possible timing attack on string comparison in OAuth1, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect implementation

Details

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?

Original Report:

The Oauth1/2 "state" and OpenID Connect "nonce" is vulnerable for a "timing attack" since it's compared via regular string comparison (instead of Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()).

Affected Code:

OAuth 1 "state"

https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OAuth1.php#L158
OAuth 2 "state"

https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OAuth2.php#L121
OpenID Connect "nonce"

https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-authclient/blob/0d1c3880f4d79e20aa1d77c012650b54e69695ff/src/OpenIdConnect.php#L420

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

TBD: Replace strcmp with Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()).

Workarounds

Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?

not as far as I see.

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-12-22 18:25 – Updated: 2024-08-02 22:16

Title

yii2-authclient vulnerable to possible timing attack on string comparison in OAuth1, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect implementation

Summary

yii2-authclient is an extension that adds OpenID, OAuth, OAuth2 and OpenId Connect consumers for the Yii framework 2.0. In yii2-authclient prior to version 2.2.15, the Oauth1/2 `state` and OpenID Connect `nonce` is vulnerable for a `timing attack` since it is compared via regular string comparison (instead of `Yii::$app->getSecurity()->compareString()`). Version 2.2.15 contains a patch for the issue. No known workarounds are available.

Severity
