Threats Tagged 'cwe-1391'

OpenAM versions prior to 16.1.1 contain a vulnerability in the OAuth2 authentication module that allows an unauthenticated attacker to take over local accounts. The flaw arises because the module updates account attributes including userPassword and inetUserStatus without proper filtering, enabling password reset to the username and reactivation of disabled accounts. This can lead to account takeover without interaction with the identity provider. The issue is fixed in version 16.1.1.

### Summary `joserfc.jwt.decode` accepts attacker-forged HMAC-signed tokens when the caller-supplied verification key is the empty string or `None`. `HMACAlgorithm.sign` and `HMACAlgorithm.verify` in [`src/joserfc/_rfc7518/jws_algs.py:62-70`](https://github.com/authlib/joserfc/blob/1ddca8f3c73ff47e3bc3ac06cb0c08a9535677ec/src/joserfc/_rfc7518/jws_algs.py#L62-L70) feed whatever `OctKey.get_op_key(...)` produced into `hmac.new(...)`, and `OctKey.import_key` only emits a `SecurityWarning` when the raw key is shorter than 14 bytes without rejecting zero-length input. Any application whose JWT secret is sourced from an unset environment variable, an unset Redis / DB row, a key finder fallback that returns `""`, or a `Hash.new("")`-style default verifies attacker tokens forged with `HMAC(key=b"", signing_input)` because the attacker trivially reproduces the same digest with no secret knowledge. This is a cross-language sibling of jwt/ruby-jwt GHSA-c32j-vqhx-rx3x / CVE-2026-45363 (HS256/HS384/HS512 verify accepted an empty/nil HMAC key, filed 2026-05-13). ruby-jwt v3.2.0 added an `ensure_valid_key!` precondition that rejects empty keys at both sign and verify entry; joserfc has no equivalent. (The same primitive lives in the deprecated `authlib.jose` module by the same maintainer; filing this advisory against joserfc alongside a separate `authlib` advisory because the codebases are independent shipping artifacts on PyPI.) ### Affected versions `joserfc` (PyPI) `<= 1.6.7` (latest published release reproduces). No patched release. ### Privilege required Unauthenticated. Any HTTP / RPC endpoint that calls `joserfc.jwt.decode` with a verification key sourced from configuration is reachable. The condition that makes the bug observable is operator-side: the configured secret resolves to `""` or `None`. Common patterns that produce this state in production: - `OctKey.import_key(os.environ.get("JWT_SECRET", ""))` - A key finder callable that returns `""` / `None` for an unknown `kid` - Default values like `os.getenv("SECRET") or ""`, `cfg.get("secret", "")` - Database / Redis row lookup that returns `""` for a missing row ### Vulnerable code [`src/joserfc/_rfc7518/jws_algs.py:43-70`](https://github.com/authlib/joserfc/blob/1ddca8f3c73ff47e3bc3ac06cb0c08a9535677ec/src/joserfc/_rfc7518/jws_algs.py#L43-L70): ```python class HMACAlgorithm(JWSAlgModel): SHA256 = hashlib.sha256 SHA384 = hashlib.sha384 SHA512 = hashlib.sha512 def __init__(self, sha_type, recommended=False): self.name = f"HS{sha_type}" self.description = f"HMAC using SHA-{sha_type}" self.recommended = recommended self.hash_alg = getattr(self, f"SHA{sha_type}") self.algorithm_security = sha_type def sign(self, msg: bytes, key: OctKey) -> bytes: op_key = key.get_op_key("sign") return hmac.new(op_key, msg, self.hash_alg).digest() def verify(self, msg: bytes, sig: bytes, key: OctKey) -> bool: op_key = key.get_op_key("verify") v_sig = hmac.new(op_key, msg, self.hash_alg).digest() return hmac.compare_digest(sig, v_sig) ``` [`src/joserfc/_rfc7518/oct_key.py:52-63`](https://github.com/authlib/joserfc/blob/1ddca8f3c73ff47e3bc3ac06cb0c08a9535677ec/src/joserfc/_rfc7518/oct_key.py#L52-L63): ```python @classmethod def import_key(cls, value, parameters=None, password=None) -> "OctKey": key: OctKey = super(OctKey, cls).import_key(value, parameters, password) if len(key.raw_value) < 14: # https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-131a/rev-2/final warnings.warn("Key size should be >= 112 bits", SecurityWarning) return key ``` The `< 14` check only warns; `len(key.raw_value) == 0` falls through and is returned to the caller. `HMACAlgorithm.verify` then calls `hmac.compare_digest(sig, hmac.new(b"", signing_input, sha256).digest())`, and Python's `hmac.new(b"", ...)` accepts the empty key. Cross-language sibling of ruby-jwt's fix in [`lib/jwt/jwa/hmac.rb`](https://github.com/authlib/joserfc/blob/1ddca8f3c73ff47e3bc3ac06cb0c08a9535677ec/lib/jwt/jwa/hmac.rb): ```ruby def ensure_valid_key!(key) raise_verify_error!('HMAC key expected to be a String') unless key.is_a?(String) raise_verify_error!('HMAC key cannot be empty') if key.empty? end ``` invoked from both `sign(signing_key:)` and `verify(verification_key:)`. PyJWT landed an equivalent guard in 2.13.0 (`HMACAlgorithm.prepare_key` raises `InvalidKeyError("HMAC key must not be empty.")` for `len(key_bytes) == 0`). firebase/php-jwt rejects empty material in `Key.__construct`. jjwt enforces a 256-bit minimum in `DefaultMacAlgorithm.validateKey`. joserfc has the strongest existing length-warning logic but stops at `< 14 bytes` warn rather than `== 0` reject. ### How an empty `JWT_SECRET` reaches `hmac.new` 1. The application calls `joserfc.jwt.decode(value, key, algorithms=["HS256"])` where `key = OctKey.import_key("")` (or `OctKey.import_key(b"")`, or any custom path t

ruby-jwt is a Ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token standard. Prior to 2.10.3 and 3.2.0, JWT.decode(token, '', true, algorithm: 'HS256') accepts an attacker-forged token because OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('SHA256', '', payload) returns a valid digest under an empty key and no empty-key precondition exists in the HMAC algorithm. The same path is reached when a keyfinder block or key_finder: argument returns an empty string, nil, or an array containing nil for an unknown key, affecting HS256, HS384, and HS512 verification through JWT.decode and JWT::EncodedToken#verify_signature!. This issue is fixed in versions 2.10.3 and 3.2.0.

A vulnerability exists in the netclient and factory services of Reolink Home Hub (versions prior to v3.3.0.456_26031911) due to the possibility of brute-force cracking the credentials. This issue could allow attackers on the same local network to intercept traffic between the Hub and associated cameras and compromise the credentials of connected cameras.

ProjectsAndPrograms school-management-system uses predictable credentials by generating student's and teacher's passwords solely from the user’s date of birth (e.g., 12072000 for 12 July 2000). The application does not require or prompt users to change the password upon first login. This behavior allows attackers to easily guess or derive valid credentials, leading to unauthorized account access. The maintainers were notified early about this vulnerability but did not provide details regarding affected versions. The version corresponding to commit 6b6fae5 was tested and confirmed vulnerable; other versions were not tested and may also be affected.

Dlink DWR-X1820 router uses weak default password generated from its IMEI number and does not require users to change it. An attacker who knows how passwords are generated can easily crack the default password if they have the device IMEI number. This issue was fixed in version 1.00B16CP.

In Slican telephone exchanges secure key is generated in a predictable manner using properties of the telephone exchange which can be obtained without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker can deduce the secure key and obtain admin credentials. This issue was fixed in versions below: - IPx series: version 6.61.0040 - CCT-1668: version 6.56.0430 - MAC-6400: version 6.56.0430 - CXS-0424: version 6.30.0510 The issue STILL EXISTS in End-Of-Life telephone exchanges in versions 4.xx and below: - CCT-1668 (CCT1CPU) - MAC-6400 - CXS-0424 These products were discontinued in 2011 and 2012 and and will not receive updates. These products require a hardware update in order to receive a software update. The vendor recommends that users of these devices contact the their service department directly to determine the options for upgrading.

fast-jwt provides fast JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation. Prior to 6.2.4, a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in fast-jwt's async key-resolver flow allows any unauthenticated attacker to forge arbitrary JWTs that are accepted as authentic. When the application's key resolver returns an empty string (''), for example via the common keys[decoded.header.kid] || '' JWKS-style fallback, fast-jwt converts it to a zero-length Buffer, hands it to crypto.createSecretKey, derives allowedAlgorithms = ['HS256','HS384','HS512'] from it, and then verifies the token's signature against an empty-key HMAC. The attacker simply computes HMAC-SHA256(key='', input='${header}.${payload}'), which Node accepts without complaint — and the verifier returns the attacker-chosen payload (sub, admin, scopes, etc.) as authentic. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.2.4.

Weak credentials in the CashDro 3 web administration panel, version 24.01.00.26, where the platform allows the use of numeric PINs for user authentication. The system supports the use of PIN-based credentials, maintaining compatibility with POS software integrations deployed since 2012. This could allow an attacker to easily perform a brute-force attack against a user and gain access by trying different PINs without the account being locked. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to confidential configuration settings, compromising the security of the system.
