CVE-2024-1258
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was found in Juanpao JPShop up to 1.5.02. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file api/config/params.php of the component API. The manipulation of the argument JWT_KEY_ADMIN leads to use of hard-coded cryptographic key . The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-252997 was assigned to this vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe JPShop application uses a hardcoded cryptographic key (JWT_KEY_ADMIN) in the API configuration file api/config/params.php for JWT token generation/validation. This allows attackers who discover the key to forge administrative JWT tokens and gain unauthorized access to the API.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check JPShop versionLocate the version information for your JPShop installation (commonly in composer.json, a version config file, or API response headers).Affected if The installed version is 1.5.02 or lower.
-
Verify api/config/params.php existsConfirm the file api/config/params.php is present in your JPShop installation directory.Affected if The file api/config/params.php exists in the application root.
-
Inspect for JWT_KEY_ADMIN definitionOpen api/config/params.php and search for a variable or constant named JWT_KEY_ADMIN.Affected if JWT_KEY_ADMIN is defined in api/config/params.php with a hardcoded value.
-
Determine if key is hardcodedExamine how JWT_KEY_ADMIN is assigned its value. Check if it is set to a static string literal (e.g., 'somekey123') rather than being retrieved dynamically from environment variables (e.g., getenv('JWT_KEY_ADMIN')).Affected if JWT_KEY_ADMIN is assigned a static string value directly in the code.
You are affected if your JPShop version is 1.5.02 or lower AND the api/config/params.php file contains a hardcoded JWT_KEY_ADMIN string value.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedReplace the hardcoded JWT_KEY_ADMIN value with a dynamically-generated key stored securely (e.g., environment variables, secrets management system) and implement key rotation. Regenerate all existing admin tokens after remediation.
- 1. Locate the file api/config/params.php in the JPShop installation
- 2. Identify the hardcoded JWT_KEY_ADMIN value in the configuration
- 3. Replace the hardcoded JWT_KEY_ADMIN value with a dynamically generated cryptographic key or a reference to an environment variable
- 4. Ensure the new key is unique, sufficiently long (recommended 256+ bits), and stored securely outside the web root
- 5. If using an environment variable, update the application to read JWT_KEY_ADMIN from the environment at runtime
- 6. Restart the application services to apply the new configuration
- 7. Verify that API authentication still functions correctly with the new key
