CVE-2025-15107Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Authentication bypass via hard-coded JWT signing key

Published Dec 27, 2025 · Updated Dec 27, 2025

Authentication bypass in ActionTech SQLE 4.2511.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to forge administrator JWTs. sqle/utils/jwt.go initializes JWTSecretKey to the constant "secret" and uses it to validate HS256 tokens, while authorization relies on the token's user identifier. No credentials or user interaction are required, but exploitation requires a valid token with a privileged identifier; successful use grants backend access.
