Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists because the Litmus platform uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and authorization, but the secret key used to sign these tokens is only 6 bytes long. Such a short secret key is extremely easy to crack, allowing attackers to potentially forge or manipulate JWTs.

Impact Analysis

Because the secret used to sign JWTs is very short and easy to crack, attackers could forge authentication tokens, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the system. This could lead to data exposure or denial of service, as indicated by the CVSS score showing low confidentiality impact but high availability impact.
