CVE-2024-10920Public exploitNetwork attack vector

User impersonation via hard-coded JWT secret

Published Nov 6, 2024 · Updated Nov 6, 2024

Use of a hard-coded cryptographic key in mariazevedo88 travels-java-api 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to forge JWTs. JwtAuthenticationTokenFilter.doFilterInternal validates bearer tokens with a JWT secret embedded in publicly available source code, allowing attackers to generate tokens for arbitrary users. Network access to the API and possession of the embedded secret allow an attacker to impersonate any user and exercise that user's permissions.
