CVE-2026-5622: hcengineering Huly Platform hard-coded cryptographic key in JWT Token Handler

CVE-2026-5622 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.7 · Published 2026-04-06

Huly Platform, an open-source process management and collaboration tool, contains a security flaw in how it handles digital identity tokens. The system uses a hard-coded secret key for its JWT Token Handler, which could allow an attacker to potentially forge or manipulate security tokens. While the attack is complex to execute, it could undermine the integrity of user sessions and system security.

Technologies: Hcengineering Huly Platform. Vendors: Hcengineering.
