GHSA-7789-65hx-f26w: FileBrowser Quantum has Username Enumeration via Authentication Timing Side-Channel

March 24, 2026

The /api/auth/login authentication endpoint does not execute in constant time. When a non-existent username is supplied, the server returns a 401/403 response almost immediately. When a valid username is provided, the server performs a bcrypt password comparison, causing a measurable delay in the response time.
