Technical details

A vulnerability exists in the @evershop/evershop NPM package where the HMAC secret used for signing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is hard-coded as 'secret'. This falls under CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials). Because the secret is predictable and publicly known, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can generate valid JWTs with arbitrary claims. This allows for complete authentication bypass and privilege escalation within the application. The issue was addressed in version 1.0.0-rc.8 by transitioning to a more secure session authentication mechanism.
