Vulnerability details
Theoretically, it would be possible for an attacker to brute-force the password for an instance in single-user password protection mode via a timing attack given the linear nature of the `!==` used for comparison. The risk is minified by the…

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Misdirection can normalize or falsify responses to eliminate observable discrepancies that aid reconnaissance.
Observable discrepancies in system behavior can be modulated to create covert storage or timing channels; the required analysis detects and constrains such avenues.
Prevents attackers from using observable differences in error responses to infer internal system details or state.
