CVE-2019-20933

59
FAUCET Score

CVE-2019-20933 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting InfluxDB versions prior to 1.7.6, stemming from an empty shared secret in JWT token authentication. With a CVSS score of 9.8, it allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, availability) over the network with low complexity. While not listed in CISA KEV and lacking Metasploit/ExploitDB entries, Nuclei templates exist for exploitation, and its high EPSS score suggests a significant likelihood of future exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
