Summary

CVE-2026-32702 is a medium-severity Observable Timing Discrepancy (CWE-208) vulnerability in Cleanuparr Project Cleanuparr. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Account Discovery (T1087); ranked at the 24th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and IA-5 (Authenticator Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Cleanuparr is a tool for automating the cleanup of unwanted or blocked files in Sonarr, Radarr, and supported download clients like qBittorrent. From 2.7.0 to 2.8.0, the /api/auth/login endpoint contains a logic flaw that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate…

valid usernames by measuring the application's response time. It appears that the hashing function, which is the most time-consuming part of the process by design, occurs as part of the VerifyPassword function. With the short circuits occurring before the hashing function, a timing differential is introduced that exposes validity to the actor. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.8.1.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1087 Account Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of valid accounts, usernames, or email addresses on a system or within a compromised environment.
Why these techniques?

Timing side-channel on login enables remote valid username/account enumeration (CWE-208).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authentication decisions at the login endpoint without permitting observable timing differences that leak username validity.

prevent

Requires secure authenticator verification processes that eliminate timing side-channels during password hashing and comparison.

detect

Enables monitoring of authentication request timing and response patterns to identify username enumeration attempts.
