Metadata

ID: javascript-node-security/insecure-jwt-secret-usage

Language: JavaScript

Severity: Error

Category: Security

CWE: 798

Description

Using a static secret for signing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) poses several security risks:

Static Secrets: Static secrets embedded in the code can be easily discovered by attackers. This is particularly dangerous if the code becomes publicly available or is leaked.
Weak Secrets: A simple, static secret might be weak and easily guessable, rendering the security controls it supports ineffective.
Lack of Key Rotation: A static secret doesn’t allow for key rotation, a recommended practice to mitigate the risk if a secret is compromised.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

export const authorize = (user = {}) => jwt.sign(user, privateKey, { expiresIn: '6h', algorithm: 'RS256' });

jwt.sign({ user: 'foo' }, 'secret');

const key = 'shhh';

const secret = key;

jwt.sign({ user: 'foo' }, secret);

Compliant Code Examples

import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";
import config from './config';

const payload = {foo: 'bar'};
const secret3 = process.env.SECRET 
const token5 = jwt.sign(payload, secret3)

jwt.sign(payload, process.env.KEY);
jwt.sign(payload, config.secret);
