Unauthenticated user impersonation via hardcoded JWT key
Published Jan 31, 2025 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Improper authentication in macrozheng mall-tiny 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to impersonate any user by forging a JWT. The JWT authentication path signs username claims with a hardcoded, unchanging key and later trusts the recovered username for privilege lookup. No credentials or user interaction are required, and the demonstrated consequence is access to protected user data under a superuser identity.
