5.9 MEDIUM

Requires privileged read access to the Redis datastore (PR:H) plus the non-default-key condition and token-reassembly effort (AC:H); token forgery breaks confidentiality and integrity (C:H/I:H) with no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Express Gateway through 1.16.11 contains a hardcoded cryptographic key vulnerability that allows attackers with datastore access to decrypt stored OAuth 2.0 token secrets via the default crypto.cipherKey 'sensitiveKey'. Attackers who can read Redis can decrypt tokenEncrypted values and combine them with stored token IDs to obtain valid bearer tokens for any user.

AnalysisAI

OAuth 2.0 bearer token compromise in Express Gateway through 1.16.11 is possible when a deployment keeps the default crypto.cipherKey value 'sensitiveKey' and an attacker can read the Redis datastore. The attacker can decrypt stored tokenEncrypted values, combine them with stored token IDs, and obtain valid bearer tokens for any user, causing high confidentiality and integrity impact while availability remains unaffected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two concrete prerequisites must both hold: (1) the attacker must have read access to the Redis datastore backing Express Gateway (tokenEncrypted values and token IDs are stored there), and (2) the deployment must still use the default crypto.cipherKey value 'sensitiveKey' as shipped in lib/config/system.config.yml. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The input CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N, base 7.4) already encodes a high bar for exploitation: the attacker needs high privileges (PR:H), the attack carries a present requirement (AT:P), and complexity is high (AC:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified in the provided sources at time of analysis, so prioritize compensating controls. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory every Express Gateway instance running version 1.16.11 or earlier and verify whether the default crypto.cipherKey value 'sensitiveKey' remains in use; simultaneously restrict network access to the associated Redis datastore so that only the gateway can reach it. …
