MaxKey Hard-coded JWT Secret Unauthorized Access via /login/jwt/trust

Published Aug 11, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9.3 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
MaxKey contains an unauthorized access vulnerability due to a hard-coded JWT signing secret in application-maxkey.properties that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge valid JWT tokens and authenticate as any user by exploiting the password-skipped login endpoint. Attackers can craft a JWT token signed with the publicly known default secret, submit it to the /sign/login/jwt/trust endpoint, and obtain a fully authenticated admin session with access to SSO application configuration and downstream application secrets.
