**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** gost (GO Simple Tunnel) (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue arises from the comparison of untrusted input, sourced from an HTTP header, with a secret using a non-constant time comparison function. This allows an attacker to mount a side-channel timing attack to guess the password. Sensitive secrets such as passwords, token, and API keys should be compared only using a constant-time comparison function. **Recommendations** As a temporary workaround, consider using a constant time comparing function such as `crypto/subtle`'s `ConstantTimeCompare` to compare sensitive secrets. Apply the provided patch to fix the timing attack vulnerability in the auth.go file. Use the `ConstantTimeCompare` function from the `crypto/subtle` package to securely compare passwords, as shown in the example fix. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
