Summary

CVE-2026-41161 is a medium-severity Observable Timing Discrepancy (CWE-208) vulnerability in Sync-In Sync-In Server. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Password Guessing (T1110.001); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Sync-in Server is a secure, open-source platform for file storage, sharing, collaboration, and syncing. Prior to version 2.2.0, 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.…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing can include timing analysis or side-channel test cases that reveal observable timing discrepancies.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles can mandate constant-time algorithms and side-channel resistance so timing discrepancies are never introduced.

SC-13 Cryptographic Protection partial match

Requiring approved cryptographic modules and algorithms implicitly demands implementations free of observable timing leaks.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

Secure SDLC practices directly require constant-time implementations that eliminate observable timing discrepancies.
