Treefrog Framework
Monthly
Authentication bypass in TreeFrog Framework through version 2.11.2 exploits a timing side-channel in the Session Cookie Handler, where std::strncmp's early-exit comparison behavior allows remote attackers to statistically recover valid session token values and forge authenticated sessions. Any web application compiled against the affected framework that uses default session cookie authentication is exposed. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been released, increasing targeted risk despite the high attack complexity required.
