CVE-2026-82454 PUBLISHED

Omnivore before android-0.227.0 Authentication Bypass via Apple Sign-in

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 29.08.2026 Published: 29.08.2026 Updated: 29.08.2026

The Omnivore API (packages/api) before the fix in commit abf53d6 contains an authentication bypass in Apple sign-in token verification. The decodeAppleToken function extracted the 'alg' field from the attacker-supplied JWT header and passed it as the sole allowed algorithm to jwt.verify(). Using jsonwebtoken v8 (which does not validate key/algorithm compatibility), an attacker can set alg=HS256 and sign a forged token using Apple's publicly available RSA public key as the HMAC secret, bypassing signature verification and impersonating any Apple-linked account.
