Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can forge admin JWTs and gain full administrative access to protected /webapi routes, including the Doris SQL query API. All an attacker needs is network access to the web interface.
Root cause
The application relies on a hardcoded default HMAC secret in JwtTokenService and configuration files to sign and verify JWTs.
Affected systems
DataBuff ai-apm-web through 0.1.10
CVSS v3.1 · CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Fix & remediation
Upgrade to a fixed version beyond 0.1.10 once released. As an immediate workaround, override the default JWT secret in application.yml or via environment variables with a strong, random key and restart the service.
AI-suggested. Run it in staging first and check it against the vendor advisory. Why?
NVD description
DataBuff ai-apm-web through 0.1.10 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge admin session tokens by using the hardcoded HMAC secret in JwtTokenService. Attackers can sign a payload of admin and a future expiry with the default dev-secret to gain full administrative access to protected /webapi routes, including the Doris SQL query API.
