Remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity token forgery gives full account impersonation (C:H/I:H); no availability impact and no scope change beyond the authenticating service.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The Omnivore API (packages/api) before the fix in commit abf53d6 contains an authentication bypass in Apple sign-in token verification. The decodeAppleToken function extracted the 'alg' field from the attacker-supplied JWT header and passed it as the sole allowed algorithm to jwt.verify(). Using jsonwebtoken v8 (which does not validate key/algorithm compatibility), an attacker can set alg=HS256 and sign a forged token using Apple's publicly available RSA public key as the HMAC secret, bypassing signature verification and impersonating any Apple-linked account.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the Omnivore API (packages/api) before commit abf53d6 lets a remote unauthenticated attacker impersonate any Apple-linked account through a JWT algorithm-confusion flaw in Apple sign-in. Because decodeAppleToken trusted the attacker-controlled 'alg' header and jsonwebtoken v8 does not enforce key/algorithm compatibility, an attacker can switch the token to HS256 and sign it with Apple's public RSA key used as the HMAC secret. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the Omnivore deployment has Apple sign-in enabled and is running the vulnerable API (packages/api before commit abf53d6) built against jsonwebtoken v8, whose failure to validate key/algorithm compatibility is essential to the attack. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS number: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H) describes remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation yielding full account takeover, and the underlying algorithm-confusion technique is public and trivially scriptable, so any operator running an unpatched instance should treat it as urgent. … 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 | Upstream fix available (PR/commit); a released, tagged patched version is not independently confirmed - apply the change in commit abf53d6508755d3d22a994e28e370a9193ea977a (PR https://github.com/omnivore-app/omnivore/pull/4652), which hardcodes algorithms to ['RS256'] in jwt.verify() and stops reading 'alg' from the token header. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit access logs for anomalous authentication activity on Apple-linked accounts and initiate patch deployment planning. …
