AI-suggested
A fix is available in SigNoz version 0.143.0, which requires a JWT secret when the JWT provider is selected and changes the default token provider to opaque tokens. Users should upgrade to version 0.143.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgraded, ensure that the JWT signing secret is explicitly configured to a non-empty value to prevent exploitation.
Description
SigNoz versions from 0.8.0 up to but not including 0.143.0 have a vulnerability where the JWT tokenizer signing secret defaults to an empty string if not configured. This allows an unauthenticated attacker who knows a user ID to forge valid session tokens, including for administrators, by signing claims with an empty key. The vulnerability also permits token refresh without revocation, enabling continued unauthorized access. The issue is fixed in version 0.143.0, which enforces a required JWT secret and changes the default token provider.
