Until a fix is available, ensure the JWT_SECRET environment variable is properly set to prevent fallback to the hardcoded signing secret.
Description
Kubero versions 3.0.0 through 3.1.1 have an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a hardcoded fallback signing secret used when the JWT_SECRET environment variable is unset. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to forge administrative JWT tokens with arbitrary claims, enabling full control over pipelines, applications, users, and API tokens.
