Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jetty versions prior to 9.4.x

Description The issue is related to a timing channel in util/security/Password.java, which allows remote attackers to obtain access by observing elapsed times before rejection of incorrect passwords. This makes it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access.

Recommendations For Jetty versions prior to 9.4.x, consider disabling the Password.java functionality until a patch is available. Restrict access to the util/security/Password.java module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the Password.java function for password verification until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
