CVE-2026-73085
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Prior to 2.36.0, the jwtAuthCheck function in server/auth/TokenManager.js treats JWTs with the refresh token type as bearer access tokens on API and WebSocket resource endpoints such as /api/me instead of restricting them to /auth/refresh, allowing refresh tokens to authenticate as the associated users. This issue is fixed in version 2.36.0.

Antes de la versión 2.36.0, la función jwtAuthCheck en server/auth/TokenManager.js trata los JWT con el tipo de token de actualización como tokens de acceso de portador en los puntos finales de recursos de API y WebSocket, como /api/me, en lugar de restringirlos a /auth/refresh, permitiendo que los tokens de actualización se autentiquen como los usuarios asociados. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 2.36.0."
