CVE-2015-10004

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-10004 describes a timing side-channel vulnerability in the json_web_token_project json_web_token library's token validation methods. This flaw allows an attacker, through a sufficient number of requests over a low-latency connection, to deduce the expected HMAC. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability presents a significant risk (FAUCET Risk Score 50/100) due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
