Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Audiobookshelf versions prior to 2.36.0
Description The jwtAuthCheck() function in server/auth/TokenManager.js incorrectly treats JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) of the refresh token type as bearer access tokens. This occurs on API and WebSocket resource endpoints, such as '/api/me', instead of restricting these tokens to the '/auth/refresh' endpoint. Consequently, refresh tokens can be used to authenticate as the associated users.
Recommendations Update to version 2.36.0.
