CVE-2021-29455

Missing validation of JWT signature in `grassrootza/grassroot-platform`

Published Apr 19, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Grassroot Platform is an application to make it faster, cheaper and easier to persistently organize and mobilize people in low-income communities. Grassroot Platform before master deployment as of 2021-04-16 did not properly verify the signature of JSON Web Tokens when refreshing an existing JWT. This allows to forge a valid JWT. The problem has been patched in version 1.3.1 by deprecating the JWT refresh function, which was an overdue deprecation regardless (the "refresh" flow is no longer used).
