Summary

Outstatic CMS <= 2.1.9 contains a hardcoded JWT signing secret. When the OST_TOKEN_SECRET environment variable is not set, the application falls back to a default value publicly visible in the source code repository.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated remote attacker can forge JWT session tokens with arbitrary user data and full administrative permissions, leading to complete system compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update Outstatic CMS to version 2.2.0 or later and set a strong, unique secret in the OST_TOKEN_SECRET environment variable.
