Homer is open source telecom observability software. Prior to version 11.0.283, both JWT middleware functions (JWTMiddleware and JWTMiddlewareV4) immediately return next(c) when jwtSecret == "". The JWT secret defaults to an empty string. On a default installation, all protected API endpoints under /api/v1, /api/v3, and /api/v4 are completely unauthenticated. Version 11.0.283 patches the issue.

CRITICALPre-NVD 9.89.8—Elevated
EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence
This critical-severity CVE scores 9.8 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.4% (34th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
