AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable JWT login endpoint or changing the default JWT signing secret if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.

Description

MaxKey contains an unauthorized access vulnerability due to a hard-coded JWT signing secret in application-maxkey.properties that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge valid JWT tokens and authenticate as any user by exploiting the password-skipped login endpoint. Attackers can craft a JWT token signed with the publicly known default secret, submit it to the /sign/login/jwt/trust endpoint, and obtain a fully authenticated admin session with access to SSO application configuration and downstream application secrets.
