Machine-written summary

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

totp-rs versions before 1.1.0 compared TOTP tokens without constant-time comparison. An attacker who can make repeated verification attempts may be able to use timing differences to guess a user's 2FA token. Upgrade to totp-rs 1.1.0 or later, which fixes the issue by using constant-time comparison.
