AI-suggested
A fixed version exists starting from 4.1.10. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.10 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Since the vulnerability arises when KENER_SECRET_KEY is empty or unset, ensuring this key is properly set can also mitigate the risk.
Description
Kener versions from 3.0.0 up to but not including 4.1.10 have an authentication bypass vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to forge session tokens by exploiting a hardcoded fallback key (DUMMY_SECRET) used when the KENER_SECRET_KEY is unset or empty. Attackers who know an administrator's email can sign a user cookie to gain full administrative access to the management API or forge password-reset tokens.
