# Contournement de l’authentification JWT via signature non vérifiée

Notes sur le contournement de l’authentification JWT via signature non vérifiée pour les laboratoires de la PortSwigger Web Security Academy, incluant le workflow d’exploitation, les tests de payloads, la validation dans Burp Suite et le contexte de remédiation.

### Contournement de l'authentification JWT via une signature non vérifiée

**Contexte du laboratoire**

Ce labo utilise **les JSON Web Tokens (JWT)** pour gérer les sessions utilisateur. / En raison d'une défaillance critique d'implémentation, **le serveur ne vérifie pas la signature du JWT reçu**.

**Objectif :**

* Modifier le jeton de session pour accéder à `/admin` panneau d’administration
* Supprimer l’utilisateur **carlos**

**Identifiants fournis :**

* `wiener : peter`

**Étape 1 – Authentification et récupération du JWT**

Après s'être connecté au `wiener` utilisateur, un cookie de session \*\*JWT\*\* est généré par l'application.

Le jeton a la structure classique :

* **En-tête**
* **Charge utile**
* **Signature**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
eyJraWQiOiI0YTM5NDQ3My0yNmYxLTQxNzMtYjVlOC1hOGQ4NjQ5NmI5ZTEiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJwb3J0c3dpZ2dlciIsImV4cCI6MTc2NzUyNzk1Mywic3ViIjoid2llbmVyIn0.T4j1dohfmxoKYLu3Lc9cF03f0jHi1Td_PuIdhpR6jluSxY6UarYiUt0cPDkz6Wt9m0L0f5376ZdnkZvc4afoKcEvU89_cwobse5yU_aEdk4SYVVbuSLEQ-sPlbnIVY5nf17LlU-xxPJZaoii2L-BlGlulIL60j7Mjb9cRs6User-Agentu36YddU2DQkF2Ww2UcTftI6n8S5htcnM5iftGWYLhDkfKsp5RhgV58GCj3kyn92Pxo82DeuUeY-h0YRvOIijlROdSPvufMQiqYbBuUN__6Jb7ckUs7iXOTB6CwBnE-vQcIqQs549YdTOkWypmIQdmGWyUser-AgentbJaPZHOPJU-XLzHwIcg
```

{% endcode %}

**Étape 2 – Analyse du contenu du JWT**

En décodant le JWT, on obtient la charge utile suivante :

```json
{
  "iss": "portswigger",
  "exp": 1767531263,
  "sub": "wiener"
}
```

Le `le champ sub` représente l'identité de l'utilisateur authentifié.

**Étape 3 – Modification de la charge utile**

Comme le serveur **ne valide pas la signature**, il est possible de modifier librement le contenu du jeton.

La valeur de `le champ sub` est remplacée :

```json
{
  "iss": "portswigger",
  "exp": 1767531263,
  "sub": "administrator"
}
```

Le JWT est ensuite **reconstruit** (quelle que soit la signature, elle ne sera pas vérifiée).

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash

**Étape 4 – Utilisation du JWT falsifié**

Le nouveau jeton est injecté dans le cookie de session du navigateur.

Résultat :

* L'application considère l'utilisateur comme **administrateur**
* L'accès à `/admin` est autorisé

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/fr/web/jwt/jwt-authentication-bypass-via-unverified-signature.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
