ETK-2026-3204Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
Rust zip versions through 9.0.3 use a non-constant-time comparison during AES-encrypted ZIP password verification. An attacker able to submit or influence decryption attempts and measure their timing may infer password-verification information, reducing the effort needed to attack protected entries.
mitigation
Upgrade the Rust zip package to version 9.0.5 or later. Restrict untrusted archive-decryption requests where practical until the update is deployed.
fixed in 9.0.5
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
