Use of Hard-coded Credentials

CVE-2023-46943

High
9.1/10

Summary

A critical security flaw is present in NPM's package "@evershop/evershop" prior to 1.0.0-rc.8. The HMAC secret used for generating tokens is hardcoded as "secret". A weak HMAC secret poses a risk because attackers can use the predictable secret to create valid JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), allowing them access to important information and actions within the application. This vulnerability has been fixed by implementing session authentication.
