  "details": "Subject: Security Vulnerability Report Hardcoded JWT Secret (CVE-2026-30762)\n\nHi HKUDS team,\n\nI\u0027m writing to report a security vulnerability I discovered in LightRAG v1.4.10. This has been assigned CVE-2026-30762 by MITRE.\n\nVulnerability: Hardcoded JWT signing secret\nType: Improper Authentication (CWE-287)\nSeverity: High\nAttack Vector: Remote / Unauthenticated\n\nSummary:\nThe file lightrag/api/config.py (line 397) uses a default JWT secret \"lightrag-jwt-default-secret\" when the TOKEN_SECRET environment variable is not set. The AuthHandler in lightrag/api/auth.py (lines 24-25) uses this secret to sign and verify tokens. An unauthenticated attacker can forge valid JWT tokens using the publicly known default secret and gain access to any protected endpoint.\n\nReproduction:\n1. Install LightRAG v1.4.10 with AUTH_ACCOUNTS configured but no TOKEN_SECRET set\n2. Use PyJWT to sign a token: jwt.encode({\"sub\": \"admin\", \"role\": \"user\"}, \"lightrag-jwt-default-secret\", algorithm=\"HS256\")\n3. Send a request to any protected endpoint with the header: Authorization: Bearer \u003cforged_token\u003e\n4. Access is granted without valid credentials\n\nSuggested Fix:\nRequire TOKEN_SECRET to be explicitly set when AUTH_ACCOUNTS is configured. Refuse to start the API server if authentication is enabled but no custom secret is provided.\n\nI\u0027m following a 90-day responsible disclosure timeline from today\u0027s date. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.\n\nBest regards,\nVenkata Avinash Taduturi",
