Until a fix is available, restrict admin access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to JWT secret access.
Description
Rote versions up to 2.6.0 have a privilege escalation vulnerability allowing authenticated admin users to gain super_admin rights by accessing or modifying JWT signing secrets via the /v2/api/admin/settings endpoint. This enables attackers to forge HS256 tokens for the super administrator, change user roles, and escalate privileges.
