Open5GS’s optional WebUI management component uses JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authentication/authorization. When the JWT_SECRET_KEY environment variable is not set, the WebUI falls back to a hard-coded default signing secret (publicly known as "change-me"). This allows an attacker to forge valid JWTs (including administrative tokens), resulting in authentication bypass and full administrative access to the WebUI, with the ability to read/modify subscriber data and configuration and to bypass secondary controls (e.g., CSRF) once an admin token is accepted.
