Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Note Mark (github.com/enchant97/note-mark/backend) accepts any JWT_SECRET value, including very short ones, so the signing key can be brute-forced offline. An attacker who captures one valid JWT could recover the secret, forge tokens for any user, and take over accounts without credentials. The fixed version is 0.0.0-20260501152247-18b587758667, and versions before it are affected; upgrade to that version. The source lists no workaround, though setting a JWT secret of at least 32 bytes avoids the weakness.
