CriticalCVSS 9.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk41th percentile - higher than 41% of all known CVEs
Summary
Creativeitem Academy LMS up to and including 6.14 uses a hardcoded default JWT secret for token signing. This predictable secret allows attackers to forge valid JWT tokens, leading to authentication bypass and unauthorized access to any user account.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can impersonate any user, including administrators, gaining full access to the LMS platform and its data.
Recommendation
Replace the default JWT secret with a unique, strong key and update Academy LMS to a version that does not use a hardcoded secret.
