Tóm tắt nhanh
- CVE-2026-23996 là lỗ hổng mức THẤP (CVSS 3.7) ảnh hưởng fastapi-api-key, fastapi api key (athroniaeth).
- Xác suất bị khai thác trong 30 ngày tới (EPSS): 0.29%, cao hơn 21.8% các lỗ hổng khác.
- Cách xử lý: cập nhật lên 1.1.0 hoặc mới hơn.
Mô tả
Impact
Timing side-channel vulnerability in verify_key(). The method applied a random delay only on verification failures, allowing an attacker to statistically distinguish valid from invalid API keys by measuring response latencies. With enough repeated requests, an adversary could infer whether a key_id corresponds to a valid key, potentially accelerating brute-force or enumeration attacks.
Affected: all users relying on verify_key() for API key authentication prior to the fix.
Patches
Yes. Users should upgrade to version 1.1.0 (or the version containing this fix). The patch applies a uniform random delay (min_delay to max_delay) to all responses regardless of outcome, eliminating the timing correlation.
Workarounds
- Add an application-level fixed delay or random jitter to all authentication responses (success and failure) before the fix is applied.
- Use rate limiting to reduce the feasibility of statistical timing attacks.

Mô tả của NVD
FastAPI Api Key provides a backend-agnostic library that provides an API key system. Version 1.1.0 has a timing side-channel vulnerability in verify_key(). The method applied a random delay only on verification failures, allowing an attacker to statistically distinguish valid from invalid API keys by measuring response latencies. With enough repeated requests, an adversary could infer whether a key_id corresponds to a valid key, potentially accelerating brute-force or enumeration attacks. All users relying on verify_key() for API key authentication prior to the fix are affected. Users should upgrade to version 1.1.0 to receive a patch. The patch applies a uniform random delay (min_delay to max_delay) to all responses regardless of outcome, eliminating the timing correlation. Some workarounds are available. Add an application-level fixed delay or random jitter to all authentication responses (success and failure) before the fix is applied and/or use rate limiting to reduce the feasibility of statistical timing attacks.
