9.8 CVE-2026-117564 Published 27 Oct 2026
nest-admin Hardcoded JWT Secret Admin Authentication Bypass
Worried this affects your website?
nest-admin before 1.0.1 has an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to forge administrator tokens.
The cause is a hardcoded JWT_SECRET committed in .env.production. Because JwtStrategy and RbacGuard trust this known secret, attackers can:
- sign tokens impersonating any user ID, or
- claim the admin role for full administrative access.
Full administrative access is possible without authentication.
