Vulnerability
An authentication bypass vulnerability has been identified in MICROSENS NMP Web+ versions through 3.2.5. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to generate forged JSON Web Tokens (JWT), bypassing authentication mechanisms. The issue arises from the use of hard-coded security-relevant constants, leading to insufficient session expiration, as the JWTs do not expire, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the system.
