GHSA-xwx7-p63r-2rj8: Navidrome Stores JWT Secret in Plaintext in navidrome.db
Navidrome stores the JWT secret in plaintext in the navidrome.db database file under the property table. This practice introduces a security risk because anyone with access to the database file can retrieve the secret.
The JWT secret is critical for the authentication and authorization system. If exposed, an attacker could:
- Forge valid tokens to impersonate users, including administrative accounts.
- Gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or perform privileged actions. This vulnerability has been tested on the latest version of Navidrome and poses a significant risk in environments where the database file is not adequately secured.
Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
