Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Fides webserver authentication in ethyca-fides versions before 2.44.0 is vulnerable to timing-based username enumeration. An unauthenticated remote attacker can measure login response times to tell which usernames exist, which can then support password brute-forcing or credential stuffing. Upgrade to ethyca-fides 2.44.0 or later. No workaround is listed.
