CVE-2026-47410: praisonai-platform: JWT signing key defaults to hardcoded "dev-secret-change-me", allowing token forgery for any user when PLATFORM_ENV is unset

May 29, 2026

Type: Insecure default cryptographic key. The JWT signing secret defaults to the hardcoded literal "dev-secret-change-me" when PLATFORM_JWT_SECRET is unset. A safety check exists but only fires when PLATFORM_ENV != "dev"; the default value of PLATFORM_ENV is "dev", so the check is silently bypassed in any deployment that does not explicitly opt out. The attacker reads the literal from this public source file, mints a JWT with arbitrary sub and email claims, and authenticates as any existing user (including workspace owners and admins). File: src/praisonai-platform/praisonai_platform/services/auth_service.py, lines 25-36 and 114-137. Root cause: the production-mode guard checks os.environ.get("PLATFORM_ENV", "dev") != "dev" — but the default is "dev", so a clean deployment that just imports the package and runs uvicorn praisonai_platform.api.app:app proceeds with the hardcoded secret. The package documentation does not warn loudly enough that BOTH variables must be set; the guard suppresses itself when either condition is missed. JWT verification at line 129 trusts whatever the token says (sub, email, name) once the HMAC-SHA256 signature validates against the publicly-known secret. Since the verifier accepts forged tokens for any user_id, the attacker becomes that user across every authenticated route.
