AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, consider implementing custom Authorizer logic that performs consistent-time password hash verification regardless of username validity to mitigate timing discrepancies.
Description
Fiber is an Express inspired web framework written in Go. Prior to 3.3.0, the default Authorizer function in the BasicAuth middleware in middleware/basicauth/config.go uses short-circuit evaluation that skips password hash comparison for non-existent usernames, enabling reliable remote username enumeration through response timing differences. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.0.
