CVE-2023-24829Network attack vector

Unauthorized console access via forgeable JWTs

Published Jan 31, 2023 · Updated Mar 27, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Apache IoTDB Web Workbench 0.13.0 through 0.13.2 allows remote authenticated users to gain unauthorized access. JJwtTool signs and validates JWTs with a signing secret embedded in the affected source, allowing attackers who know it to create trusted claims. Low-privileged network access is sufficient to forge a token and use the console's data-management and permission-control functions.
