CVE-2024-32988
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 · unedited'OfferBox' App for Android versions 2.0.0 to 2.3.17 and 'OfferBox' App for iOS versions 2.1.7 to 2.6.14 use a hard-coded secret key for JWT. Secret key for JWT may be retrieved if the application binary is reverse-engineered.
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 OfferBox mobile applications for Android (v2.0.0-2.3.17) and iOS (v2.1.7-2.6.14) contain a hard-coded JWT secret key embedded in the application binary. An attacker who reverse-engineers the app can extract this secret and forge valid JWT tokens to impersonate users or bypass authentication.

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.
-
Identify if OfferBox mobile app is installedOn Android, check Settings > Apps for OfferBox. On iOS, check the home screen or Settings > General > iPhone Storage for the OfferBox app.Affected if The OfferBox app is present on the device
-
Determine the installed versionOn Android, go to Settings > Apps > OfferBox > App info to view the version. On iOS, long-press the app in the App Store or check within the app's About section. Compare against affected ranges: Android 2.0.0 to 2.3.17, or iOS 2.1.7 to 2.6.14.Affected if Version number falls within or below the affected ranges for either platform
-
Inspect application binary for hard-coded JWT secretDecompile the Android APK (using tools like jadx or apktool) or analyze the iOS IPA binary. Search within the decompiled source code or binary strings for static JWT secrets, authentication keys, or secret tokens embedded in the code.Affected if A hard-coded JWT secret key, static Bearer token, or authentication secret string is found embedded in the application binary or decompiled code
If OfferBox mobile app is installed with a version in Android 2.0.0-2.3.17 or iOS 2.1.7-2.6.14, and a static JWT secret is found embedded in the app binary, the environment is affected.

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.
From vendor dataReplace the hard-coded JWT secret with a dynamically-loaded secret from a secure server-side key management system, rotate the compromised secret to invalidate any tokens potentially forged with the extracted key, and ensure no secrets are embedded in future app builds.
