🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: 로그인 등 인증 관련 엔드포인트에서 유저가 존재할 때만 비밀번호 해시 검증을 수행하여, 유저 존재 여부에 따라 응답 시간 차이가 발생하는 타이밍 공격에 노출되어 있었습니다.
🎯 Impact: 공격자가 이 시간 차이를 이용해 데이터베이스에 존재하는 유효한 이메일 주소를 열거할 수 있습니다.
🔧 Fix: 데이터베이스에서 유저를 찾지 못하더라도 항상 미리 생성한 `DUMMY_HASH`를 사용해 비밀번호 검증 로직을 실행하도록 수정하여 유저 존재 여부와 무관하게 일정한 시간이 소요되도록 방어 로직을 구현했습니다.
✅ Verification: `npm run test:api` 및 신규 추가된 `tests/unit/auth-timing.test.mjs` 유닛 테스트를 통해 검증 완료.

 **Vulnerability:** The backend CSV export for audit logs neutralized `=`, `+`, `-`, and `@` but failed to neutralize `|` (pipe) characters, allowing potential DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) injection if exported logs were opened in spreadsheet software.
 **Learning:** Spreadsheet formula defenses must cover all command-style prefixes including `|` across all CSV export boundaries, both frontend and backend.
 **Prevention:** Update the sanitization regex in the backend export function to `/^[=+\-@|]/` so that all potentially executable spreadsheet payloads are prefixed with a single quote.

+**Vulnerability:** The login endpoint verified the provided password hash only if a user record was found. If no user was found, it returned early. This meant requests for valid emails took longer to process than invalid emails, enabling attackers to enumerate valid email addresses via timing discrepancies.
+**Learning:** Returning early on failed database lookups before performing expensive cryptographic operations creates a measurable timing difference. Cryptographic paths must be balanced.
+**Prevention:** Always evaluate passwords against a `DUMMY_HASH` if the user lookup fails, ensuring constant-time execution regardless of whether the user exists. Explicitly coerce passwords to strings (`typeof password === 'string' ? password : ''`) before passing them to the hash verifier to avoid TypeErrors from unexpected JSON payloads while still evaluating against the dummy hash.

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: 로그인 등 인증 관련 엔드포인트에서 유저가 존재할 때만 비밀번호 해시 검증을 수행하여, 유저 존재 여부에 따라 응답 시간 차이가 발생하는 타이밍 공격에 노출되어 있었습니다.
🎯 Impact: 공격자가 이 시간 차이를 이용해 데이터베이스에 존재하는 유효한 이메일 주소를 열거할 수 있습니다.
🔧 Fix: 데이터베이스에서 유저를 찾지 못하더라도 항상 미리 생성한 `DUMMY_HASH`를 사용해 비밀번호 검증 로직을 실행하도록 수정하여 유저 존재 여부와 무관하게 일정한 시간이 소요되도록 방어 로직을 구현했습니다.
✅ Verification: `npm run test:api` 및 신규 추가된 `tests/unit/auth-timing.test.mjs` 유닛 테스트를 통해 검증 완료. 유닛 테스트 시 SCOPEWEAVE_JWT_SECRET 관련 오류를 수정하여 CI가 정상 동작하도록 조치했습니다.
