# INDOTALENT WHMS: hard-coded JWT key lets anyone forge admin tokens

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-125383 (this .md is for agents)

INDOTALENT WHMS, an ASP.NET Core inventory and order system, ships a hard-coded JWT signing key, issuer and audience in appsettings.json. An unauthenticated remote attacker can forge tokens for any user ID and role and gain administrator access to the whole API.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Open `appsettings.json` in the WHMS project and look for a hard-coded JWT signing key, issuer and audience.
- Check the WHMS version; versions before `10.20261109` are affected.

## Fix

- Upgrade WHMS to `10.20261109` or later, per the release notes linked in the sources.

## From the sources

INDOTALENT WHMS (Asp.Net-Core-Inventory-Order-Management-System) before 10.20261109 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability caused by a hard-coded JWT signing key, issuer and audience in appsettings.json. Unauthenticated remote attackers can forge tokens for any user ID and role that the Tokens/DI.cs validator trusts, gaining administrator access to the entire API.
