Description
Signal K Server versions prior to 2.33.0 have a missing authentication vulnerability that permits unauthenticated remote attackers to download log archives via the /skServer/ziplogs endpoint. These archives contain the JWT secretKey, which attackers can extract to forge administrator tokens and create persistent admin accounts, resulting in full server control.
