CVE-2026-62860 Details
Description
Picsou is a self-hosted personal finance dashboard. In the affected login implementation, the `/api/auth/login` endpoint reveals whether a username exists through a timing discrepancy. In `backend/src/main/java/com/picsou/controller/AuthController.java`, `AuthController.login()` throws `BadCredentialsException` immediately for an unknown username, before `passwordEncoder.matches(...)`, whereas an existing username with an incorrect password incurs the `bcrypt` comparison cost. Both cases return the same generic `HTTP 401` response, but repeated latency measurements disclose valid usernames without credentials. Login rate limiting, a small user population, and deployments inaccessible from outside the local network limit practical exposure; the weakness does not itself read or modify account data, though enumerated usernames can assist credential stuffing or brute-force attacks. This issue is fixed in repository release 1.0.8.
A timing attack vulnerability has been identified in the login process of Picsou, a self-hosted personal finance dashboard. The issue resides in the '/api/auth/login' endpoint, where a timing discrepancy allows for username enumeration. When an unknown username is entered, the system immediately responds with a 'BadCredentialsException', before checking the password. In contrast, if the username exists but the password is incorrect, the request incurs the additional time cost of a bcrypt comparison. Although both scenarios return a generic 'HTTP 401' response, the difference in response times can be measured, enabling an attacker to determine valid usernames without credentials. This vulnerability is present in Picsou versions 1.1.0 and later, and has been patched in version 1.0.8.
Users can update to Picsou version 1.0.8, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
