Account takeover via unsigned social-login JWTs
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Improper authentication in BookCars 8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to take over user accounts via forged social-login JWTs. The backend validateAccessToken function decodes token payloads with parseJwt but never verifies their cryptographic signatures; Facebook accepts any parseable token, while Apple only compares the decoded email. Network access to /api/social-sign-in is sufficient, with no credentials or user interaction, and successful exploitation impersonates the selected account.
