CVE-2024-1729: Gradio timing attack in login function allows password guessing

Summary

CVE-2024-1729 is a timing attack vulnerability in the gradio-app/gradio repository, within the login function in routes.py. The login check uses a direct comparison, app.auth[username] == password, so an attacker can guess passwords by measuring response times, and successful exploitation could allow authentication bypass and unauthorized access. NVD has not yet provided an assessment.
