CVE-2026-62253: Homer: Complete Authentication Bypass When coordinator.jwt.secret Is Empty (Default)
Both JWT middleware functions (JWTMiddleware and JWTMiddlewareV4) immediately return next(c) when jwtSecret == "". The JWT secret defaults to an empty string. On a default installation, all protected API endpoints under /api/v1, /api/v3, and /api/v4 are completely unauthenticated.
