Lifecycle Timeline

SigNoz from v0.8.0 before v0.143.0 defaults the JWT tokenizer signing secret (tokenizer::jwt::secret, set via SIGNOZ_TOKENIZER_JWT_SECRET or the deprecated SIGNOZ_JWT_SECRET) to an empty string, and Config.Validate() does not reject the empty value, so a deployment that does not configure a secret starts up and both signs and verifies session tokens with an empty HMAC key. Because the JWT tokenizer was the default provider, any such deployment is affected. An unauthenticated attacker who knows the ID of an existing user can forge a valid session token for that user - including an administrator - by signing the id, orgId and email claims with an empty key; the organization ID (and whether an email is registered) can be obtained without authentication from /api/v2/sessions/context. A forged refresh token can be exchanged at /api/v2/sessions/rotate for a new token pair and cannot be revoked, so it remains usable for its full lifetime (30 days by default). Fixed in v0.143.0, which requires a JWT secret when the jwt provider is selected and changes the default provider to opaque.
AnalysisAI
Session token forgery in SigNoz v0.8.0 through v0.142.x allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate any user, including administrators, when the default JWT tokenizer provider runs without a configured signing secret. The application defaults the JWT HMAC key to an empty string and fails to reject this in Config.Validate(), so tokens are both signed and verified with an empty key; an attacker who knows a target user ID can forge valid access and refresh tokens, and the refresh token can be rotated at /api/v2/sessions/rotate and cannot be revoked. …

Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all SigNoz deployments running v0.8.0 through v0.142.x and verify whether the default JWT tokenizer provider is active without a configured signing secret; if so, immediately set a strong, unique HMAC secret or switch to the opaque token provider as a temporary mitigation, and apply the vendor-released patch v0.143.0 to any internet-facing instances. …
