Title
Lack of entropy allows registered low-privileged users of Litmus to crack valid JWT tokens and gain admin privileges
Summary
The Litmus platform uses JWT for authentication and authorization, but the secret being used for signing the JWT is only 6 bytes long at its core, which makes it extremely easy to crack.
